Compared to the thrillers I typically read; this one was quite different. Fantastic writing, with well-developed characters. You'll want to keep turning the pages to find out what happens next because the story involves witches, curses, exorcisms, and a whole lot of secrets. Highly recommend.
Thank you to NetGalley and Oceanview Publishing for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

This good story kept me engaged and glued to the book. I sensed who did it, but all the twists and turns made the story unpredictable and exciting. It is my first book by this author and it won't be my last.

At first blush, Rumor of Evil didn’t appeal to me. The cover really didn’t do the novel any justice. But I was more than pleasantly surprised by how good the novel turned out to be.
The novel is a police procedural and the story unfolds over dual timelines and dual points of view. While I’m usually wary of police procedural novels, Rumor of Evil didn’t have all of the acronyms generally found in a lot of police/crime novels. The novel really focused on the plot which contained a number of twists that made for an engaging read. Although the who in the whodunit was pretty predictable, Rumor of Evil was still an enjoyable and suspenseful read.
The characters were somewhat developed and fleshed out. But I got a sense that more could have been done for the main characters and for the secondary narrator to add depth to their personalities.
Overall, I found Rumor of Evil to be an excellent novel worthy of four solid stars. And I look forward to reading more novel from author, Gary Braver.
