Lo Patrick's second book, The Night the River Wept, does have some charm. Arlene is quite clever for as simple as she sounds and she reads like the type of person "pert near anyone" could get along with. There are a few scenes that are humorous but wholly out of line with the plot, and I did appreciate the small-town references. But the charm wanes and the reader is left with a slow-moving, implausible, shallow story that was, at times, a chore to get through.
I didn't hate The Night the River Wept, I just didn't see the reason for reading it. The writing was good enough that I wouldn't completely discount giving Patrick's other book a go.
