5.0 out of 5 stars The Best, September 6, 2001

This review is from: Secret Place of Thunder (Cheney Duvall, M.D. Series #5) (Book 5) (Paperback)

This was in my opinion, the best book in the series. The setting is absolutely captivating and it makes the whole story take on an interesting, refreshing air. For me as a Christian, the part with the voodoo priestess was very thought provoking. The part also showed that Shiloh still had some major weaknesses and supports Cheney's later reasons for keeping her distance from him in the area of romance. The aunts were well-written, lovable and sometimes humorous characters. You won't want to miss the funny part later on in the book that invloves Shiloh and hairpins.

5.0 out of 5 stars Romance, intrigue, and voodoo. This book has it all!, July 4, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Secret Place of Thunder (Cheney Duvall, M.D. Series #5) (Book 5) (Paperback)

I have read all five of the Cheney Duvall books published at this time, and this is by far the best in the series. Secret Place of Thunder takes the reader to the bayous of Louisiana, where Cheney and Shiloh begin recuperating from their last adventure. They stay at Les Chattes Bleus, the indigo plantation owned by Cheney's great-aunts. Cheney is called there because the indigo is mysteriously dying. Then the sharecroppers begin to get sick... This exciting novel takes the reader into the dark bayous of 19th century Louisiana, into the tumoltuous soul of a man of God who questions his faith, and into the evil world of voodoo..
