About [Books] All the Dead Lie Down by FredCamfield's review
Parallel Plots
This novel has two main plots being run in parallel.The story tends to jump back and forth between plots, which makes it somewhat difficult to follow the story line.Initially, they do not seem tied together, but eventually they come together, more or less.I was left with the impression that I was coming into the story somewhere in the middle.Did I miss a prequel about the characters?
Molly Cates is obsessed with her father's death.In an attempt to spare her the details, well meaning people ruin her life.She finally comes to closure as she learns the sordid details, including the evil details of a former sheriff."Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive."
The second plot involves a radical group planning an attack on the Texas State Senate.This involves a different group, unrelated to the first plot, although connected to acquaintances of Molly.Homeless people learn of the plan, and one attempts to contact Molly.Molly is off chasing her obsession with her father.
The story finally comes to a blazing finale.The white hats win, and various people come to grips with their pasts. |
