My Thoughts
The best mysteries and thrillers rise to the level of social novels, presenting readers opportunities to confront the difficult issues we face. Jocie McKade’s novels have always been driven by this (as well as the love of family and friends). Mayson Dickson: The Line Is Drawn may be one of Jocie McKade’s wonderful works, but we can still find comfort in the natural beauty of two sisters so different the only thing keeping them from starting another war between the states is the need to solve the case and the quirky residents we would love to have as our neighbors. Timely and thrilling… faithful readers know that one of Jocie McKade’s books is less a single-serving crime , mystery tale than a full spread of fiction. The mystery may be the main course, but the side dishes ― the food for thought, and the food at the Bistro; the people and their lives and, yes, loves; and certainly the setting itself ― combine to create a full banquet for readers, one liberally seasoned with amazing action flushed suspense thriller. Mayson Dickson: The Line Is Drawn is one of the richest and most satisfying banquets yet.
This book is, as always, about letting love lead us to the right decisions. There is a wonderful mixture of suspense, humor and tears throughout. I read it without stopping. It is that good. The mystery part of the books is always compelling and provides narrative drive, but Mayson Dickson’s books are so rich because she provides real food for thought and gives those thoughts emotional grounding… another brilliant entry.
This book has layers within layers: good versus evil; our duty to the weak; the nature of power; north vs south and the fact that good people are not always likable, and likable people are not always good.
Highly Recommended!
