This review is from: And If I Die (The Black or White Chronicles #3) (Hardcover)

And If I Die by John Aubrey Anderson is the third book in The Black and White Chronicles. Missy, Mose, Bill, Pat and the rest of the gang are back to do more battles with the demons of Cat Lake. We're now up to 1968, and Bill is getting finished with college. He's taken up bull-riding with his friend Will Pierce. Pat hires two new interns Griff and Supe. The Bainbridges are still in pursuit of their sons' killers, and Estelle has hired an assassin to track down Mose and Bill. I really enjoyed finally getting some back story on Mose. His life as a child is fascinating, as are his encounters with demons before Missy is even born. Bill is blossoming as a character, and I think that he will really shine in upcoming books. This book introduces a hoard of new characters, but I didn't feel it was as strong as the first two in the series. Abiding Darkness was phenomenal, and Wedgewood Grey was terrific. This book carries on the story and gives the Gospel well, but so many new characters were introduced, some of the regulars didn't feel as deep as they usually do. This book closes some chapters and opens the door wide for some new stories to be told while continuing the saga of Cat Lake. I look forward to the next book.

This review is from: And If I Die (The Black Or White Chronicles) (Mass Market Paperback)

I've read the first two books in this series and although Mr. Anderson is not a great writer in my opinion, he has been able to offer suspense and intrigue as well as spiritual edification in his novels. Unfortunately, I found this latest one dragging and unclimatic. There were sections that were enjoyable (Mose's childhood for example) but most of the book just offered extremely mundane details about people making acquaintances with each other. The end was horribly predictable and unimpressive. It read more like the telling of a real-life story that was deeply spiritual but lacking the intrigue to make it into a movie. If I'd read an abbreviated version of this book in a Christian magazine under "testimonials" then I'd be thoroughly impressed. I love this author and hope he does well in his future literary endeavors.

And If I Die is the third in the Black and White series and an excellent close to a great story. The characters are ventage Mississippians of the fifties and sixties.
