I read Dream Eyes about 3 years ago but the only thing I could recall was the waterfall. The plot and the characters all slipped out of my memory, something I’ve noticed with Jayne Krentz’s novels. Her books are good, enjoyable, but not memorable.
Dream Eyes is set in a small Oregon town where Gwen Frazier’s old friend Evelyn Ballinger has recently died. Two years ago a serial killer used paranormal means to kill two people before dying himself, and Evelyn appears to have died the same way as the former victims. Gwen suspects someone murdered Evelyn, but who is the murderer, if in fact it was murder? Gwen’s friend, Abby Radwell from Krentz’s Copper Beach, sends her fiance’s brother Judson to help Gwen untangle the mysteries.
The story moves quickly with a few twists and another murder. Gwen and Judson eventually figure out who in that small town is the killer, fall in love, go to Abby’s wedding and start their own happy ever after.
I enjoyed Dream Eyes because the main character, Gwen, is easy to like and spend time with and Judson is one of Krentz’s better love interests. Gwen and Abby’s good friend Nick makes a guest appearance too and adds quite a bit to the story. Overall I’d say the characters make the book and the plot is just so-so.
