The Crucifier Cometh!!

What did you love best about Fall from Grace?

The characters were believable and down-to-earth. The author did a really nice job of
bringing them to life and merging them into the story. I thought the narrator showed a broad range of vocal command in depicting the individual characters. I especially liked the Cajun granny and her whimsical dialogue. Only wished she would have played a larger role in the story overall, but it was still a great book to listen to, especially for a first-time author.
Definitely a huge surprise ending. I didn't see that one coming. Great job!!

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

It most certainly did that. It seemed that the story took at least two or three sharp turns and totally caught me off guard throughout. Without giving away anything, I think listeners will be swayed into believing what their ears are telling them, but ultimately its all a well-crafted mind-bender that will have you shaking your head at the end. The small-town setting also seemed to give it that wholesome appeal, one that you couldn't help but be drawn into. But, even in the most seemingly secured setting, nobody is safe from the satanic and sadistic ire of a deranged killer.

Which scene was your favorite?

It's hard to have a favorite really. I suppose the finding of the unfaithful wife brazenly murdered on the front lawn of the church, really set the tone for how vicious and uncaring the killer was. For any person to orchestrate that heinous act, shows how black their heart really is.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I went through several reactions. Laughing, fearful, nervous, compassionate, just to name a few. Being from the Midwest or Plains states, it was a story that certainly hit home with a big impact for me. The characters conversations and reactions to each other and the escalating drama that surrounded them was nerve-racking at times. I think most readers will experience some of these same reactions, and then probably a variety of others as well.

Any additional comments?

This first book by Tammy Lynn Acuff is a tremendous accomplishment. She has most definitely done her homework regarding the police work throughout the story. The Cajun characters added a nice unique touch to the story as well. I enjoyed very much listening to the narrator's depiction of each character. I hope the pair will join forces again somewhere in the future on another audio book!
