22/52: When Crickets Cry by Charles Martin, 4/5 StarsI have such a hard time putting down a Charles Martin book once I've started reading it. Guess what I did on Sunday? "When Crickets Cry," ay yup. Though I could have done without all the medical jibberish that proved Reese's knowledge of what's what, I still loved the characters that Martin created and how he wove them all together for another happy ending.
At one point Reese said something that really resonated with me, "“If you’re working for a bank, you don’t study the counterfeit to know the real thing. You study the real thing to know the counterfeit.” Now, you don't have any idea why it resonated, but someone else very close to me will.
Martin has a new book coming out in June. I'll be looking for it.
