Review: Final Vows

Final Vows Final Vows by Karen Kingsbury
My rating: 2 of 5 stars  💛💛

This was one of the first books Karen Kingsbury wrote before she started Christian fiction. I prefer her Christian fiction. This book is based on a true crime and basically feels like an extended newspaper article.

The crime was interesting and I managed to finish it because I wanted to see what happened to Dan. This story did not have a happy ending and it was actually shocking how the police and DA worked the circumstantial evidence to support their theory - even if it was true or not.

I gave it two stars because I didn’t like the so documentary writing style . I found a lot of it boring and found myself scanning though parts to get to interesting facts again.

Even though Dan was a very unlikeable guy I did end up feeling sorry for him.

About the book:

When Carol Montecalvo began writing to a man in prison through a program at her church, she considered it her Christian duty. But these letters soon became her lifeline, something she actually looked forward to sending and receiving. She fell in love with Dan, the man behind the letters. In Final Vows, #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Kingsbury chronicles a couples unlikely romance and marriage, and what led to Carol's bloody death on her kitchen floor. It seems her husband has obvious motives for murder. But is this former felon really guilty? Or could he actually be a grieving widower, in the wrong place at the wrong time, showing the wrong type of emotions when faced with his wife's lifeless body?
