2.5 stars.I only started this because I was trying to cull my too large, "probably won't ever get to" section of my tbr shelf of books. I successfully put a few books in the donate to goodwill or library box after testing the first few pages/ chapters. With this one I got to chapter three and was still interested and kind of entertained. It's a very light quick read, two hours later I had finished it. Hard to explain why really, there are few like-able characters, in fact they are pretty much all either spineless co dependent types or scumbags, there is very little character development, and the plot is quite ridiculous but I found it a cosy, escapist read. Probably in the same way watching a lifetime movie is, but once once in a while it's not a bad way to spend a few hours. This is one of those stories that is going to stick with me for a while. Even though it's fiction. Just the idea that seeing angels can lead people to believe what they do... there was once a time when I thought we were wrong not to believe in angels. At least with a christian upbringing that is what we are led to believe. So why not believe a child, so pure in heart, can see them. I think the idea is, well, heavenly.The writer knew how to get the story out, and make you think about what was in it.The other part of the story, is like the rest. Just a tale, with bad guys and bad ideas. Well put together though, because you get angry in parts where it's merited.That is the making of a great read!One for the recommendation list!
What do You think about Wonders Never Cease (2010)?
Tim Downs is an excellent mystery writer but this is my least favorite. Love the Bug Man books!!

I must admit I like Downs' Bug Man series best! This was a good story, though.

This was a sweet read, but I am ready for some of Nick Polchack's nuttiness.
