Every time I drive by a roadside cross or memorial I wonder how that person had died. It's the first book I have read that is dedicated to roadside crosses and it brought awareness to all the accidents that happen on the road. This book also raises the issue of cyber bullying and how people feel they can bullying others on the social networks and not feel accountable. This is a real issue and the story tells it the way it is. I enjoyed the fact that the author told a story so current that adults who have children will become more aware and hopefully guide their children when it comes to using social network. This story is an eye opener and very well told. 3.5 stars.She is caught up in a string of nasty crimes that culminate with roadside crosses being left before the crime is committed nearby. It all seems to stem from a blog post and the comments section. (Oh, to have such power!) As she tries to track down all those who made a comment blaming a maybe innocent teen, she spends less time reading body language and more time relying on help from tech experts. I think that’s what made this less enjoyable than the other two books with Dance. This became a good mystery, but little to set it apart from other good mysteries.This book was interesting from a blogger’s perspective since it showcased blogs, websites, social media and virtual gaming. Deaver likes to educate on a given topic and when this was written in 2009 it probably was more cutting edge than today. Still, for those three people still offline, this would be eye-opening. It is a cautionary tale about how much of our lives and ourselves we put online for the world (strangers whose motives we don’t know) to see.
What do You think about Roadside Crosses (2009)?
Always Enjoy J. Deaver's books and this was another fast-moving mystery with unexpected twists.
