Book Review: Divine Evil

Divine Evil by Nora Roberts

My review

rating: 3 of 5 stars
Clare Kimball is a famous sculptress when she returns to her hometown of Emmitsboro, Maryland to confront the ghosts of her past. She moves into the family home, the site of her father's suicide. Although a lot of the town has stayed the same in the years since Clare left, many things have changed. The wild and rebellious Cameron Rafferty is now the town sheriff and he has his own demons to face. An old grave of a baby is dug up in the cemetary and the dirt hauled away. A runaway teenage girl is missing, last spotted just outside of Emmitsboro; only problem is, no one saw this girl anywhere in town. Then a gruesome murder happens to someone Cam knows only too well. It doesn't take long for Clare's past to come crashing down around these two either. Clare finds out that her father may have been involved in a cult and that maybe his death wasn't a suicide or accident after all. The more time Clare and Cam spend together, the closer they become and the more nervous they make certain people in town. Because while on the surface Emmitsboro may look like Mayberry, it is hiding a very dark evil secret. And someone will go to any lengths to keep that secret hidden.



Overall, it was an okay book. I did figure out who most of the people involved in the cult were before they were revealed, but I did not guess the real ringleader - that was a shocker to me.



3 stars out of 5
