Search of Ina Byers
by Larry Spencer is
a wonderfully written story that can make for a great movie, packed with
compelling imagery and featuring elaborately developed characters. When Ina Byers
returns home for a family event after being away for long, Jake, her high
school lover is thrilled to spend a few moments with her. She is the wild kind
of woman, free-spirited, and unbridled, just the kind of woman Jake wants. When
she leaves, he decides to abandon the already failing family business to pursue
the woman who brings him alive in inscrutable ways. But his adventure will get
him embroiled in a Church robbery and becomes a prime murder suspect.
In Search of Ina Byers is an intelligently plotted tale
that is filled with drama, featuring a cast of interesting characters,
including Jake, Ina Byers, Ray, Emily Easterday, Buckley Griffin. The author writes life into these
characters by steeping them into the ordinary life of people within the
setting, exploring details that define family dynamics, relationships, and what
keeps the pulse of the city. Ina is one of the richly developed characters and
the mystery surrounding her personality will have readers wanting to know what
will come of her. From
the beginning of the story, with the vivid, cinematic descriptions, the reader is pulled in, following scenes that are detailed and
brilliantly crafted in prose that is dazzling and a voice that is clear and
irresistible. Spencer’s handling of character is impeccable, expertly writing
emotions that readers instantly feel familiar with and developing a complexity
in character depth that explores the mysterious, multi-dimensional nature of
the lead characters.
In
Search of Ina Byers
is an intriguing tale that is infused with humanity and realism, and the
author’s superior storytelling craft is enriched by the beautifully crafted
dialogues and the unforgettable cast of characters. It is a tale of love,
passion, and the consequences of a man’s choice in search of what he wants. The
story is brilliantly plotted to feature an unconventional, yet realistic
triangle of love while presenting solid themes of family, friendship, lust, and
murder. It is fast-paced and suspenseful, a breezy read for fans of contemporary
romance with a unique twist.
