Essence of Evil
April 28, 2014
Evil pursues Christine, in this
the second book of the Finders Keepers Mystery Series. Retreat is not an option
but her move forward makes her vulnerable to the very evil that took her
parents' lives. Faced with yet another missing child, she embarks on a search
that takes her out of her comfort zone to question her chosen career, her
abilities, and her belief system as she helps stricken parents find closure.
Christine finds herself confused about her growing interest in Jeremy but she
is distracted by the essence of evil that surrounds her.

Nightmares are real
I’ve known about Derksen’s books for years, but this is the
first of the series that I’ve read from this prolific author. Without using the
actual words or graphic imagery, Derksen creates a sense of despair, and
revolting depth of depravity. A young woman, now known as Christine, who
witnessed cruelty as a child is being hunted again as she’s returned to her
home and tries to deal with the past while forging a new future for herself.
She works to locate missing and exploited children, along with her specially
trained dog and her partner Jeremy, a detective who’d like to explore their
relationship on a different level.
A couple of cases are going on at the same time in this
story, all dealing with kidnapped and missing boys. The setting is Canada, and
Derksen’s several characters have a say about their work and feelings.
Christine Smith is feisty, trying to be strong and independent through her
fears, and deeply caring about the tragic young victims she’s hired to find.
Readers will be able to empathize with her and her passion.
Not for the faint of heart, Derksen has plumbed the depths
of the essence of evil while letting the light of faith shine through as the
true victor.
