This is just as cheesy & pulpy & poorly written as you would imagine. The story itself was really choppy & it took awhile to figure out what was going on. It's apparently the second in a series of three, but I sincerely doubt reading the first one would have helped orient me in any way regarding this story's plot. Regardless of what the cover highlights, the JFK assassination had little to do with the overall story (but it does touch on it).

It had snippets of interesting pieces but not show more enough to save the whole. Still, I read it. Probably 2.5 stars. show less

Again a more or less manufactured case (or cases). The Travelers save the Chester building and find Martin's "grandchild". The ending is horrible, especially since it leads to the favorable disposition of that grandchild's living arrangement. Surely the Travelers or Tanner could have managed it better? The story of the destruction of the copper mining town is interesting. If such a thing actually happened, it would be interesting to read about it at greater length in a historical account.

Although the basic premise is a little bit of a stretch, this is a worthy installment in this series. A small town coverup/denial leads to apparent suicides and murder. One wonders how Moroni will continue with one of his torments/motivations.

Odd sort of serial killer book; no bloody body drop scenes (or at least viewed only from a distance). It appears that perpetrator is a missionary gone bad. Subplot involving the illness of Moroni's father; a Mormon (unsuccessful) faith healing by a splinter group and contact with a Mormon healing "witch". The usual back and forth between Moroni and church official and old friend, Willis Tanner. Ending confused me a little. Killer targets Moroni's flighty ex-girlfriend. Moroni's continued show more attachment to her is a constant through the books I have read (many several years ago). This volume will require a re-read sometime soon. show less
