Book Description

Sep 1 1992
Bestselling author Nora Roberts dazzles once again with a powerful tale of passion, murder, and small-town scandal. In this classic novel, a woman returns to the home she left behind, to a past that is waiting to kill her....

A decade ago, sculptor Clare Kimball fled Emmitsboro, Maryland, to take the art world by storm. Now she’s celebrated as the artist of her generation. But no amount of success can eclipse the nightmares that haunt her—or the memories of her father’s suicide. Just as her star is shining brighter than ever, Clare leaves it all behind to face her demons.

Emmitsboro sheriff Cameron Rafferty loved Clare from afar all through high school. Now that she’s back, they form a bond that grows stronger each day—fueled by an attraction that’s been simmering for years. But Clare’s past soon rises up with a vengeance, rocking the town with a sinister murder that is clearly linked to her return. As an investigation gets under way, Clare and Cameron will learn that evil can linger anywhere—even in those you love and trust the most. But it’s a discovery that may come too late to save them.…

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Clare Kimball, an accomplished sculptor, is troubled by depression and the return of childhood nightmares. So she takes a break from New York City and heads for her sleepy hometown in Maryland, despite its association with her beloved father's violent but apparently accidental death. Cameron Rafferty, formerly the town hellion, is now the sheriff and faced with a puzzle: the century-old grave of an infant has been dug up. In fact, the grave was robbed by Satan worshipers; Clare's dreams date from the night in her childhood when she saw them performing a coven ceremony--and they know she saw them. Cam's problems are compounded when the mutilated corpse of his hated stepfather is discovered in a field after the two have a public fistfight. Cam and Clare are an engaging couple, but by relying on the most obvious plot complications, Roberts has made her latest romantic mystery a virtually no-thrills thriller. (Is there a single reader who won't prediet that Clare will end up in the coven's clutches?) Also, while this tale is about ritual murders instead of a serial killer, the work's marked similarities to last year's Carnal Innocence give it the feeling of being a rerun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Disturbingly evil! Feb 18 2002
Format:Paperback
First of all I want to warn people who have not read DIVINE EVIL to seriously reconsider about reading this. DIVINE EVIL is not your average horror or mystery. It is full of controversies and blasphemies. There's such things as satanism, murder and rape. Although the last two conditions are sort of expected, the way Nora Roberts play this out is very scary.

DIVINE EVIL isn't one of those happily ever after type books so if you guys do plan to read this book, beware. The author leaves you hanging and after I just finished this book, I was just surprised because usually Roberts give you a sense of peace and closure but the author doesn't give you this in DIVINE EVIL.

I had a hard time reading this book because the scenes were really violent and chilling but it was also very interesting. I wanted to find out how it ends and how the author would end it because this is a very deep issue in society. But the author doesn't really end it in a satisfying way. Besides the closure, the plot and scense were explained graphically and vividly. So much that you can just play it in your head.

But I think people who have a faint heart should not read this book because the book is just really evil.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed Mar 17 2003
Format:Paperback
Nora Roberts is a truly gifted writer. What I love about her stories is that they stay so fresh in my mind, even after having read some of them several years ago. I can only pray that I'll be able to forget this one. Unfortunately her gift of description was used to describe in great detail pure evil, Satanism, rituals and enough perversity to give me a nervous stomach to contend with. I have read more Romantic Suspense than I can count, but this book in no way falls under that category in my opinion! It should be in the Occult section. I can't even recommend reading it for the love story because it's so lacking. I would say about ten percent of this book dealt with a great couple that I would have liked to read more about. The last conversation between the hero and the heroin leaves you hanging abominably. And the "twist" at the end was terrible, and ridiculously unbelievable. I can't even believe that I'm saying this about a Roberts book, but I strongly advise skipping this one. It's not worth the sick feeling that I hope soon fades.

For great Romantic Suspense I recommend every other Nora Roberts, Susan Anderson, Cherry Adair, Lauren Bach, Jane Graves, Linda Howard, and "To Trust a Stranger" by Karen Robards.

Format:Paperback
I am a huge Nora Roberts fan and eagerly await each of her books. However, I was extremely disappointed in this book. The love story was secondary to the primary focus on death, graphic violence, senseless murders, and satanic ritual. The characters of Clare and Cam were never fully developed. The purpose of the Ernie character was predictable from the very beginning.

I much prefer Nora's "lighter" treatments of witchcraft, as depicted in the Three Sisters Trilogoy. Even the sometimes too realistic Eve Dallas stories pale in comparison to this book. A true disappointment.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good and Bad.
I thought the book was pretty good, but there was so many holes that you kinda wanted to go to the end and re-write it yourself. I HATED the ending. Not typical Nora Roberts.
