Saving Eric
Joan Deneve. Holly Springs, Georgia: Write Integrity Press, 2015. 410 pp. (Paperback).
It’s always hard to review a fiction book; I don’t want to spoil the experience for the prospective reader, but I do want to give enough information to help you make a good decision. It’s somewhat easier with this book, because the decision should be easy — buy it. It’s good.
The story is about a CIA agent who discovers a traitor inside the organization, but not soon enough … oops. See what I mean? Better not give that away. I didn’t see it coming, and that’s one of the main things that excited me about this book — it was unpredictable. I didn’t expect a lot of the things that happened, and after two solid months of Hallmark Christmas movies, what a welcome relief.
The core story is a combination romance/conversion story, told beautifully and with just enough restraint to make it believable and oh so enjoyable. Joan Deneve, please write another one soon.
