A Darker Place by Laurie R. KingMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Anne Waverly suffered greatly after the deaths of her husband and young daughter. Involved in a religious cult, her husband and daughter were part of a group suicide while she was away. Now she is a sometimes undercover agent for the FBI, going into religious groups where cult activity is suspected. She thought she was finished with this work, and had settled down to her teaching as a University professor of religious studies. But, the FBI had one more assignment for her. And this one might just cost Anne her life.
This story kept my interest throughout. I have been drawn to cult perspectives for a long time--actually any belief system that is away from the center. This book captured my attention because of the nature of how people are indoctrinated into certain belief systems that, at first, seem innocuous. I also liked Anne, her FBI contact, and the two children, prominent in the story.
