Synopsis

Ex-FBI profiler River Ryland still suffers from PTSD after a case went horribly wrong. Needing a fresh start, she moves to St. Louis to be near her ailing mother and opens a private investigation firm with her friend and former FBI partner, Tony St. Clair. They’re soon approached by a grieving mother who wants them to find out what happened to her teenaged son, who disappeared four years ago. River knows there’s almost no hope the boy is still alive, but his mother needs closure, and River and Tony need a case, no matter how cold it might be.

But as they follow the boy’s trail, which gets more complicated at every turn, they find themselves in the path of a murderer determined to punish anyone who gets in his way. As River and Tony race to stop him before he kills again, an even more dangerous threat emerges, stirring up the past that haunts River and plotting an end to her future.

My Thoughts

I’m not much of a Christian Fiction reader because I have a love/hate relationship with the faith content which to me, personally, is overdone and not realistic. But I really enjoyed this one. I’m a huge crime/thriller junkie so that’s what’s sucked me in. But let me just say that the faith aspect in this book was awesome. It was subtle, super realistic and relatable which I loved. As for the crime/thriller part, Nancy Mehl did an amazing job at highlighting the criminals mind. Initially, I was a bit hesitant to see how far the author would go with details of the crime because, well, it’s Christian fiction, but she did her thing!
