Easy style, gentle cadence
"Fatal Kidnapping" tells, from three different perspectives, the story of Katie Stone's kidnapping and subsequent escape. We see it first from her father's and boyfriend's side, then we hear Katie tell the story to the sherrif, and then we find out "the truth".
Evans writes in simple, short sentences. She uses a minimalist style, and it reads as if the narrator is reciting the story in a gentle, repetitive cadence. She tends to avoid (or at least to dampen down) the conflicts in her scenes, focusing more on the current interactions of the characters, and telling about their past reactions to major crises in their lives.
Katie Stone and her surrounding characters are from a simple and rural life. I enjoyed the glimpses into this life, espeially around how Katie and her family handled the process of dying (several people have lingering illnesses).
Without giving away the ending, I will say that Evans surprised me with her glimpse into a person's dark and overly-practical side. She did a nice job of gently leading up to the surprise without revealing it too soon.

This book is very well plotted.
When I read it, I felt like I was there. I related to the main character, Katie Stone, in the sense that I could feel what she was going through.
This new author, Tracy B. Evans, touched on every aspect of daily life. It talks about love, death, and coping with daily problems in our life.
I think she did an oustanding job, and I recommend this book to anyone who loves to read a good mystery or suspense novel.
Plus, the ending was well worth reading this book. It has a perfect twist to the plot of the story. This book stuck with me for days.
I choose not to spoil the contents of this book. But, if you love excitement and to be shocked, then, this is the book for you.
I will buy any of this author's books as long as they are as exceptional as this book was.

What an unbelievable ending!
Tracy B. Evans book, Fatal Kidnapping, is a refreshing new twist on the obvious mystery theme. Katie Stone is a young woman engaged to her soul mate when her world gets turned upside down. As the story unfolds the author mixes in a blend of diary-like flashbacks that show the macabre childhood Katie had. Poor Katie lost loved ones at an early age and no one believed her tales of being stalked. One week before her wedding day her life long stalker makes his felonious move. Just when the reader feels they can predict the outcome of this suspenseful novel a wicked twist is thrown in that will astound hearty mystery fans. Well done Tracy.

This book was really hard to get into at first.... Once I got about a quarter of the way through is when it got pretty good and the ending has such a good twist to it!
