A review by evamadera1
The Secret Keeper by Beverly Lewis

3.0

I was not as impressed by this book as the last one. (Impressed is the wrong word since neither book really stands out. I cannot think of a better word though.) Once again Beverly Lewis' narrative is decent. The characters are fairly well fleshed out. Plus, Lewis avoids most clichés of Christian fiction. That being said, I have the following issues with the book. First, the continued saga of the Lapps (first fleshed out in The Reckoning series) got a little tiring. Lewis keeps returning to the story and dragging out the resolution or lack thereof as it seems to keep cropping up in more of Lewis' books. Second, I have a hard time believing Jenny's motives for becoming Amish, leaving the community and then returning to the community. It is really hard to fathom.
