DAY OF RECKONING is the second novel in The Baxter Series by Kathy Herman.When the Logan Textile plant closed five years ago, it was upsetting to the community and its workers.Feeling betrayed by the young G.R. Logan, who closed the plant so he could using cheaper labor in Costa Rica and raise his revenue, someone decides he should be punished.When G.R.’s daughter and her best friend are kidnapped, the town is shocked.When they find out it’s payback for the plant closure, a mixture of feelings surface.But in all, the small town of Baxter is horrified to think these two girls are going to pay for the sins of the father.
DAY OF RECKONING has an interesting premise.Just how deep can resentment and hate go before it yields bitterness that leads to destruction?I enjoyed DAY OF RECKONING though at times I feel the dialog was a bit stilted.Sherry Kinnsington came across as a teenage super Christian.At times I felt it was a bit distracting, but in the end, I saw the purpose it served.Overall, I’ve enjoyed getting to know the characters of the small town of Baxter and will continue on to VITALS SIGNS, the third book in the series. ♥
