Silent Sting

 


***
PG
Could Recommend

This book was very clean and another religious based story.  I also really liked the plot since I am a big fan of bees, but even with all of that in it's favor, I can't say that I loved it :(
I rated it PG for subject matter (there are several non-gory murders) and it also had a good mystery element but the main characters were not very likable in my opinion.  The author did not write great dialogue for them...as a matter of fact, it kind of made me wince a few times...and some of their characteristics were not very endearing.  At times it read like a teenage boy had written it (I hope that's not too rude...to the author and to teenage boys :)  Double thumbs down on the characters! 
 I also felt like some of the minor themes and how they were handled rubbed me the wrong way.
But, again, I did like the plot so I gave it an overall three stars.

Anyway, I could recommend it based on cleanliness but probably won't.
