Excerpt
"Rose never talked about any family. She wrote down how she wanted her final things done. She even prepaid her funeral expenses at the mortuary. We all thought she must be the last of her line, since no family showed up for the funeral, plus the way she took care of things. I'll show you where she's buried sometime, if you want," the sheriff offered.
"I think I'd like that," Andrea agreed with a sad little smile. "My father couldn't have known she was alive or he would have told me. Come to think of it, I don't remember ever seeing a picture of his mother in any of his things. Something awful surely happened for them to be ignorant of each other's existence." She reached up with her left hand to push wisps of blond hair from her face.
Mason immediately noticed the ring on her finger. "I see you found Rose's ring. I never saw her without it. It's very unusual, isn't it?"
"Yes, very unusual," she agreed. 'You don't know the half of it.'
"It looks good on you." He knew he should leave to get back to work, but Mason was enjoying this visit with Andrea.
"It makes me feel closer to her, somehow. Silly, isn't it?"
"I don't think so. Rose called that piece of jewelry her antique mood ring. The stone really looked as if it changed colors. She wore it on the ring finger of her left hand, I think." Mason drained his cup, but regretfully shook his head when she offered to pour more. He couldn't help thinking how the unusual filigree ring suited her. The stone in the center could be a reflection of her blue eyes.
Professional Reviews
Serial Killer Thriller with a Paranormal Twist 4 stars
I listened to the Audible version of this story narrated by David Quimby. He did an admirable job and he provided differing voices for each of the characters. His narration definitely contributed to my enjoyment of this book. I thought the premise of the story quite clever. Plus the characters are well developed and the plot moves along at a very acceptable pace.
Solid Performance 4 stars
Right from about fifteen pages into FOLLOWING DESTINY I was caught up in this story - I didn't know where it was going, but with little descriptive words, the right protags, coupled with some some less than savoury goings on - I was not letting go of this book until I was finished. The insulation of small-town living gave this book that extra boost - the character that are part and parcel of the set up, the stuff they take for granted and the fact that nothing is private but par for the course and if truth be told, looks to be the national past time. This is my third book by this author and without a doubt, Ms. Vickery's strongest strength as an author is her ability to put the pieces of an elaborate puzzle together and create a mystery that makes my hair stand on end - very, very well done.
