DIVINE EVIL

Clare Kimball, an industrial artist on everyone's buy list in the New York art world, returns to her hometown and finds new love with the town's sheriff, Cameron Rafferty, once the high school rebel. If this sounds like a typical Nora Roberts romance, let me assure you that it is not. Kimberly Farr molds the characters who drive this story of childhood nightmares and the occult. Farr's presentation of satanic rituals is chilling, especially when juxtaposed with the everyday events and characters in the story, such as a small-town parade and the joyous Annie, a mentally challenged 60-year-old who serves Cherry Smash and Oreos to her guests.
