The Sound of Red Returning
Ever wish that there was just one Christian
suspense novel out there that you could get your hot
little hands on? Well, your dreams have just come true
with Sue Duffy s new manuscript, The Sound of Red
Returning! Prominent concert pianist Liesl Bower has had
plenty of sorrow and danger in her young life. When she
was a child, her alcoholic father caused the death of her
beloved aunt. Her mentor, Professor Schell Devoe, was
brutally murdered before her eyes. Now, just when her
life was finally returning to normal, just when she was at
the peak of her career, she is again sucked into the
whirlwind of her tutor s demise. The CIA believes that
Mr. Devoe had quite a bit more going on than he disclosed
to Liesl and the rest of the world including him being a
crucial Russian spy that almost had the control to
completely wipe out democracy and set the stage for
communism s rise to power once more. Yet there s a
drawback. The information, secretly coded, was gathered
up in an unsuspecting Leisl s arms as she collected her
numerous sheets of music just before the Professor s
death. Now, the undercover Russian agents are out to get
that code at any price. Currently on the run, Liesl must
do everything she can to survive, and with the help of a
life-roughened CIA agent and a straight-minded old-timer
and his grandson, she just might make it. What Liesl
didn t expect was to lose her heart along the way&&&
Her eyes locked on Ava Mullins, and the last
fifteen years that slippery cushion between her and
Devoe' s murder fell away.
I truly did enjoy this book immensely. It had
suspense, mayhem, comedy, and just a hint of romance that
kept me interested all the way through. I loved how I
could relate to some of the predicaments some of the
characters got themselves into even if I haven t exactly
been chased across the country by demented spies. It had
some soul searching moments, but not enough where it got
to be tiresome to read. The characters in this novel
really complemented the plot all coming from different
backgrounds, different lives, and then being thrown
together by fate s twisted path. This book grabbed me
from the very beginning, and drew me into it, until I read
it from beginning to end. The vocabulary was near
perfection too, enough where it wasn t dry but not so
complicated that I would get utterly lost. One thing I
disliked about this book was that some of the Russian
spies had such difficult names that it took me a while to
sort out who was who and what they were doing. Besides
that one little bump in the road, this book was a
fantastic read.
Ava peered out the window, and Liesl heard her
whisper, God help us all.
I would recommend this book for ages seven and up,
because this book is quite long and some of the story plot
might be hard to understand for younger readers. There is
absolutely no profanity in this book, you have my word as
a gentlewoman. Remember, this book is faith based, with
mentions of the LORD frequently. If this offends you, I d
advise not to read this book.
In the midst of all this terror and trauma, will
Liesl be able to get out of the whirlwind of deceit and
chaos that revolves around the Russian underground alive?
Or will she perish and let the Russians take over all of
Europe? If you want to uncover the answer, read The
Sound of Red Returning by Sue Duffy!
