The scent of rain and lightning

I get a lot of used books from my friends and family, but nothing is better than getting a brand new book. Similar to getting a new dress, which as the third girl in my family of six children did not happen very often when I was a child.

I enjoyed this book very much. I started reading and spent several nights up late to get past the next big event.

The story is written about a small town called Rose, Kansas. Jody Linder's father was murdered and her mother disappeared when Jody was a young child. Jody was raised by her grandparents and protected by her Aunt and Uncles. The man accused of killing Hugh-Jay Linder is being released after 23 years in prison. Billy Crosby's sentence has been overturned and he is being given a new trial.

This story has some great twists and turns, with fear and romance on the side. I believed, like a couple others in the story, that Billy didn't kill Hugh-Jay. And I was sure I knew who did. But it wasn't until the very end before another twist, and another turn, finally gave me some answers.

I can't wait to share this book with others.
