My Review
“The Best Man's Secret” by Gail
Sattler is an interesting book that kept me on the edge of my seat.
I am a curious person and like to know things about people especially
when there are little breads crumbs to follow and dropped on a regular basis.
I have to say that I haven't read about
a more mysterious hero than Dave Ducharme. I couldn't figure out
what this guy was hiding. Was he some kind of billionaire who was
just trying to live life as a normal person for he didn't want the
money anymore? Maybe Dave was some kind of undercover cop who was
deep undercover. Then there is possibility that he had been injured
in the past in another bank robbery. Maybe for some reason he is in
the witness protection program. Then there is the off chance that he
is on the run from some crazy ex-girlfriend who is dangerous. Maybe
he was on the run from his past that was dangerous. These are all
thoughts that I had about Dave as I read the story for it is easy to
see he is hiding something but man even within the pages of the book,
he is stingy as all get out in revealing his secret.
I can safely say that one of my guesses
is correct for Dave reveals all that happened in his past. I wont
say what was revealed for man that would ruin the book for those who
read it, and part of the fun of the book was the guessing what he
did. For as frustrating as I found the bread crumbs into who Dave
is, I just couldn't put the book down for I had to know what
happened. Honestly I enjoy 'Heartsong Presents' for they are really
light reading books that are great for killing time and fairly easy
to put the book down to do something else, but not this book. I
couldn't put it down in the slightest for I just had to know what was
going on.
Ashley is a pretty easy woman to figure
out, and she is pretty tough. For all that this woman goes through
she doesn't loose her faith or her smile. She isn't perfect for she
gets cranky and upset about what happened and what is the result now
to her.
I was disappointed though for there is
a piece of vital information missing. The information missing is how
Ashley discovered something pretty important about Dave. He didn't
mention this fact, and yet somehow she knows this information, but
how did she find out. Maybe somehow I missed
it but somehow I doubt it. Spoiler Alert (please highlight the
following text in order to see the spoiler) Dave had been shot in the
past and somehow Ashley knows this information on page 132. I looked
back over the previous 10 pages to see if I missed anything but still
couldn't figure out how she learned that he had been shot. Granted
she doesn't know the details but she knows he had been shot. This
just didn't make any sense what so ever how she learned it. End of
Spoiler Alert.
Over all I did
enjoy this story a great deal and think it is a wonderful book that
all will hopefully enjoy as much as I did. Though I may not like how
something was learned without it making sense, but everything else
was great. I couldn't help but follow all the bread crumbs and I
hope others enjoy those bread crumbs too. This is only my second
book that I have read by Ms. Sattler, and enjoyed both of them a
great deal. I think Ms. Sattle is a wonderful author and I will look
forward to reading more.
