Jay Heavner has had a run on Florida murders and I don’t look
for him to stop anytime soon.
Through this series of books I’m seeing a good character arc
in Roger.
In describing a “Character Arc” Jerry Jenkins writes, “It’s
simply the difference between who your character was at the beginning of the
story and who he is by the end [I use he inclusively to mean he or she]. That
doesn’t mean he has to move from flawed to fabulous—but he can. Yet he should
face significant obstacles—both internal and external—that fundamentally change
him.” Since the beginning of this series I’m seeing such a character
progression, with Roger as he peels the layers of his life’s journey.
There were several chapters towards the end of the book that
really showed a change coming about in Roger’s character. Roger being able to
share some of his family pain with Lester was a big step forward. Some of the writing was truly moving and I’d
say would be worth the price of the book. I’m not giving away the scenario but
trust me, it’s good.
Sounds like Roger will be on another Florida adventure pretty
soon. I’m looking forward to reviewing another book for Jay Heavner at that
time.
