Warfield TOP 1000 REVIEWER Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase The opening sentence of Janice Daughartys The Sacrifice is, At first sight of the house, Ruth felt she heard the shock gong of a horror movie. Never did Ruths thoughts serve her better. She and her friend Mandy were on a long walk, and from the east bank of the Alapaha River in southeast Georgia Ruth had spotted a house she had never seen before. Right in the midst of her own and her Grandpoppees territory, someone had built a nice house on the river and it was hard to spot, difficult to see unless you walked right up on it. Ruth just had to take a peek inside, but Mandy stayed back, not so brave as Ruth was in going up and looking in the windows of the assumed vacant house. Ruth was wrong. There was someone inside and he fit the thoughts of the shock gong of a horror movie. Rewis was an escaped inmate from the prison, along with another man, and Rewis was a serial killer. There was no way that he would allow Ruth to run away now that she had seen him. Mandy was terrified once she saw what was happening. Rewis grabbed Ruth and eventually stabbed Mandy and kept Ruth as his hostage in a harrowing and suspenseful trip in a stolen boat down the Alapaha River on his way to Florida. Using Ruths life as insurance that he would get there, Rewis takes off on his trip with nothing but cruelty and murder and a loaded gun in mind as he makes his way down the river. As is characteristic of Janice Daughartys writing, the scenery is described in detail so that the reader has no question about where the characters are and what they are seeing.
