Book & Review Forums: You're Only as Sick as Your Secrets
Another great Laurel Dewey read
Once again, Dewey grips you in and makes you wanting to read the next installment. This story had a good, quick storyline that leaves you wanting to read on to see how it ends. I loved the twist. I love it when a plot line throws a twist out there you never see coming.
I thought the first part of the story with the engagement party and shaman were a little random and I felt the Dewey only added the last paragraph to pull it all back together. She could have left off that whole part and the story would have still been great.

When I first read this story, I felt the same way about the opening with the "shaman" character. But then I realized that, as with all things Dewey writes, she used the "shaman" as a metaphor or "mirrored" character for the story she was about to tell. In other words, a playful opening that gives us some insight into her personal life that also launches the theme of the main story. If you've read her books, you know that Dewey does this often and does it well. I've learned that she doesn't introduce any character or any subject matter just for the hell of it.
