True Believer

Jeremy Marsh is a journalist for Scientific America and writes of the strange and unusual. His profession leads him to a small town in North Carolina where strange lights in a cemetery are drawing attention.

Doris, the woman who writes to him about the apparitions, claims to be a diviner who can predict the sex of unborn babies. While there he falls in love with her granddaughter, the head librarian, who aids in his research--and believes in her grandmother's psychic abilities.

Sparks is a master of romantic fiction. He writes characters that draw the reader in and make us care about the outcome of their story. This book falls short in that area. The back story isn't brought to life in this book. The electricity between couples as they meet and fall in love from his other books is sadly missing in this one.

While it is a good story, an enjoyable read, it isn't up to Spark's previous works. Sadly, it is not a walk to remember.

Armchair Interview says: Love and lights in the cemetery are part of another of Spark's offerings.
