The Oath
prtyof10 avatar reviewed on + 75 more book reviews


Under cover of darkness, something evil is at work in Hyde River, an old mining town deep in the mountains. Its latest victim, nature photographer Cliff Benson, was brutally killed while camping -- and his wife Evelyn has been driven nearly mad by what she saw, but she can't remember what it was. The sheriff thinks a rogue bear killed Cliff.

But townspeople whisper -- and Cliff's death is just the latest in a long string of bizarre "accidents." Cliff's brother Steve is determined to find out the truth about what's concealed in the old caverns near Hyde River, a mystery that the local folk legends only hint at.

This was my first book to read by this writer. A friend told me " Kathie you have to read this book and sleep with the light on!" I did read it, she let me borrow her copy. I loved the writter so much that I bought my own copy and stuck it in my newly started library.

I didn't sleep with the light on but I was on the hunt for anything this writer had already written. My second book was This Present Darkness and my third was Piercing the Darkness.

All 3 of the books I bought some 15 or so yrs ago are still in my library which has now grown to over 300 or more.

Worth the time. I read it in less than 4 days.
