Chronicle As Books The Taking of Peggy Martin

The setting is East Texas, where Peggy, a young nurse, works at an institution for the criminally insane. After her husband Danny is mysteriously killed in a car accident, she convinces herself that it was murder… and she knows the murderer by name… Jasper Johnson. When she gets notice from Marbelle Johnson, Jasper’s mother, requesting an impromptu meeting, she discovers that the filthy rich oil baroness believes Danny to have been the bastard child of her deceased husband, Charles Johnson.

Peggy, irreparably damaged from childhood by religious fanaticism, reluctantly agrees to exhume Danny’s body. Reeling with doubt, all the while fearing betrayal by the Johnsons, she finds herself bordering on insanity.

Shackled in darkness, Peggy throws herself into her work only to find herself face to face with a blonde haired, blue eyed schizophrenic in a straitjacket. Quite by circumstance she discovers that this patient, Morgan Dubois, who as a child was found burrowed in the ground in the Piney Wood Thicket, has a link not only to her late husband, but also to the aberrations of her mind.

As secrets are revealed and it becomes apparent that something or someone wants to silence their tongues, Peggy is forced to seek refuge with the Johnsons. Together, as death finds them, one by one, they set upon a perilous journey in search of truth. Deep in the heart of the Piney Wood Thicket, they stumble upon Cypress Creek and discover an existence older than time itself. Peggy, caught in a maelstrom of emotions, torn between two worlds, finds herself in a desperate battle, not only for her life, but for that of all of mankind.

Evaluation Appertaining To Books The Taking of Peggy Martin

This the second of two novels Ive read by Karen, and Ive got to say that even though I can tell its by the same writer, they feel entirely different. The plot in this story is unique (moreso than the other one I read), and has a lot of strength. The pace is definitely dialed back, but its supplemented very well with descriptive language.The details were also very realistic and accurate (much like the other novel Ive read of hers). Karen has a knack for dialogue and character development, and

I received this book in exchange of my opinionit is different from what i usually read and it was a welcome changewhile reading this book i felt as if watching a horror movie from the sixties. the fundamental difference is that peggy's trubled mind makes her live in a scary world of her own . so this is double scary yet it has its unique sense of humor.the journy in this book is so vived you actually live it with peggy and her group.Sometimes she remembers her past in the strangest times and

Written in the first person, The Taking of Peggy Martin certainly snags attention as author Karen Glista drags you fast through the deep south. We meet the widowed Peggy, who turns out to be a well educated and God-fearing nurse. The more we learn about her, the darker she gets. From sleeplessness to self-harm, her psyche is haunted as they come. It is easy to feel for her being wracked with insomnia and enchanted by her stories of youth--her grandmother, the townsfolk and church--but knowing

Peggy Martin is a god-fearing, lonely women, filling her days working a s a nurse in an Institution for the criminally insane, following the death of her beloved husband. Failing to sleep at night, and dealing with abhorrent patients during the day, she starts to feel like evil is stalking her every movement. Horrible, violent things have happened at the hospital, and it feels like something unspeakable is coming for her too. Is something dark really after Peggy, or is she simply crossing the

The Taking of Peggy Martin is a thought-provoking read, this season. Karen Glista implicated depression, paranoia, hallucination and PTSD in a nifty manner, unique but slightly different. I had to read this book twice for me to visualise a poignant movie of it. It encapsulates culture, belongingness and exclusion, altogether. Highlighting that moving past tremors and plaguing memories of horrible life incidents to not only be difficult but also mentally infuriating. It was a challenge, and Peggy

This is definitely one on those books that transcends genres in a successful way and I was hooked right from the beginning. There is what youd expect with a dark, thrilling criminal aspect with the murder of Peggys husband, but the intrigue and suspense elements proceeding from there provided so much more than Id expect from a bestseller. Add in the supernatural / horror elements and you have got a recipe for a nailed-on bedtime page-turner.Fast-paced writing and a gripping storyline whisked me
