That's saying something, since I'm reading an average of three books every two days, sometimes more.
I won't say anything about the plot, even the slightest hint will probably spoil the read. This story stands out from the rest of the series not just in that it is the best of the bunch, but that the author has created a completely new voice for the primary character. It is difficult to create a unique voice for each character, very difficult to create one for a new narrator after the rest of the books have been narrated by someone else, and nearly impossible for a man to create a genuine-sounding and consistent voice for a woman. It is as though someone else wrote this particular chapter in the saga, but I believe it's the same author. He has created a masterpiece.
We've seen pieces of this story from the first book onward, but the central mystery remained: Why did she leave? We're left with some understanding of that by the end of Road to Deliverance, but I'm not convinced the entire answer has yet been provided. We're left with other mysteries at the end of this book. Is she still alive? I have a likely answer, but nothing concrete. Can Evan be satisfied with the answers he has? It appears not.
Rural central Texas is fairly accurately described, and the characters who live there are relatively credible. Far more credible than the "big bad government" characters who perform a Kaubki Theater presentation of vast conspiracies. The vast conspiracies simply don't exist. I spent decades in the upper reaches of government, and know that a vast conspiracy cannot be maintained. If three people know the secret, it's probably lost. If four people know it, it is definitely lost. The cover-up described needs dozens of people, many times the critical mass needed to ensure exposure.
That's all right. This is a work of fiction, and a very fine one. I recommend that anyone who enjoys good writing and complex plots, as well as fascinating characters, read this. It's a gem.
