By Pat Fordyce This novel by Christina Dodd is overflowing with wonderful characters, exciting details and murder and mayhem. I loved it!The story starts with a murder that I at first questioned it's connection to the story. But, eventually it becomes a very important clue. Virtue Falls is a small town on the Washington coast, usually crowded with tourists. Ms. Dodd introduces some of the landmarks and colorful characters. Elizabeth Banner is a geologist widely known, unfortunately, for her family history. Her father, Charles, a renowned scientist, was convicted of murdering and mutilating her mother Misty, with a pair of scissors while Elizabeth, then age four, was in the house. She was severely traumatized and did not speak for over a year. That episode is locked away somewhere in her mind and she doesn't remember details at all. After twenty-three years, suffering from repeated abuse and beatings in prison, Charles has been released to a care facility in Virtue Falls, suffering from Alzheimer's. Elizabeth is back in Virtue Falls to try and reconnect somehow, if possible, with her Dad and study an area rich with geological finds. She hasn't been back since the murder.Garik Jacobsen, Elizabeth's ex-husband is a FBI agent on disciplinary leave. He is despondent about what happened to put him on leave, trying to understand what he didi wrong with his marriage and close to ending his life in despair.In the middle of an ordinary day, the ground starts rolling, and an earthquake reading an 8 on the Richter Scale rocks this small town. Devastation is everywhere, but Elizabeth rushes without concern for her own safety to the cliff to watch for the inevitable Tsunami. She is able to video it and knows this is a once in a lifetime happening. Virtue Falls is without power, water, or food and the after shocks are tearing down what little is left. Garik races from Las Vegas to be with Elizabeth and they are staying at the Virtue Falls Resort, owned by his foster mom.Beware, once you start this novel, it's difficult to put down! You learn a lot about earthquake/tsunamis, meet a lot of people who might have murderous intentions and enjoy a very sexy second chance romance. It's very hard to put into words the impact of this story. I can only recommend you read and enjoy it.I received this eBook from the publisher and NetGalley for an honest review.Pat Fordyce
13 of 13 people found the following review helpful. I recommend buying THE LISTENER By TheReadingAddict First, let me mention Christina Dodd’s short story introduction to VIRTUE FALLS titled THE LISTENER, where the unique citizens and tourists are welcomed at the Oceanview Café to eat, greet and gossip. I recommend buying THE LISTENER, (for a minimal price), as its subtle amazing story gives a glimpse into the wide variety of personalities, faults, and issues the reader encounters in VIRTUE FALLS.VIRTUE FALLS starts with a story of horror in San Francisco, seemingly unconnected to the town two states away. Christina Dodd then proceeds from the Oceanview Café again, weaving a tapestry of characters in time, location, and personality so the reader has an idea of where everyone is before everything goes BOOM. Literally. I was reminded a bit of Dame Agatha by this.I absolutely loved the steady abundance of crisis this story unfolded. In spite of the length of this book, there were very few moments of ease. Think Peyton Place meets The Poseidon Adventure meets Ted Bundy all in one place.The format of the story, highlighting different characters and scenes instead of linear narration, kept my attention unlike many books I’ve read that bounce from place to place. This a major difference from Christina Dodd’s previous books.Also unusual, the characters were ‘normal’ everyday people with ordinary every day jobs. No rich guys falling for poor independent damsels. No shifters, vampires, or fictionally factual things that go bump in the night. Yet--there were flashes of things beyond earthly understanding.Though the main characters were overly beautiful/tall/handsome, they had issues all of us can identify with. The sex wasn’t other-worldly or kinky, it just reflected the passion between people who couldn’t make it the first time around.There were no supernatural conspiracies threatening the world, as in many of Christina’s books, but real monsters all people on the west coast of the U.S. have in their closets and under their beds--earthquakes and tsunamis. Oh, with a dose or two of murder and mayhem to tie it all together. I must say I was surprised at the lengthy romance part of the story as VIRTUE FALLS was touted as more straight suspense instead of romantic/suspense. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the heat, the chemistry, and the word crafting, but the troubling issues this couple had were overshadowed and too easily surmounted by chemistry to fit in with the tone of the suspense. And since the length of this book allowed far more character development than usual, their issues could have had more emphasis and better balance.The lengthy descriptions gave me time to remember and care about the multitude of people introduced into the story, and are prevalent throughout. And at first I felt they could be tighter and less rambling. But after reading this book for the third time, I realized Christina Dodd was subtly weaving again, making connections without hitting the reader over the head.These long descriptions also made me wonder which of these characters’ stories would be the focus of future adventures in Virtue Falls. Can Christina Dodd continue to keep this amazing amount of action and chaos going, or will future books be disappointingly shorter. Will she keep the balance of reality with a hint of the beyond without the supernatural overwhelming the suspense?And the one thing that has been on my mind since reading THE LISTENER; whatever happened to Cornelia? She wasn’t in her regular place at the Oceanview Café. Will she be included in future VIRTUE FALLS sagas? I’ll be waiting on pins and needles to find out, and to see if the end of this book is the lead into the next. I hope so!

I honestly couldn’t put it down. I just kept telling myself “one more page” over and over.After an Earthquake rocks Virtue Falls, Geologist Elizabeth Banner stumbles upon a mystery that will shake her to her very core. Because Elizabeth Banner always believed her father murdered her mother 22 years ago. But nothing is as it seems. Christina Dodd has a true gift in her ability to make her characters come to life. Every time I read one of her books I get drawn in. I honestly feel like I know these characters and can feel their fears and desires.This book is kept me GLUED to my couch! Every time I thought I had it figured out – I was blindsided! I love that a book can keep your attention from start to finish. Great Job Ms. Dodd! I can’t wait to see what you come up with next!!!
