Welcome to Litsy!

I never give one star ratings but this book just had absolutely no redeeming qualities. Besides the Christian propaganda which I didn‘t know I was getting, the plot was convoluted and outlandish, and I found the characters to be unlikable. This was the first book in a series of three and I have no desire whatsoever to continue on with book #2.

Police Chief Jane Hardy finds herself suddenly promoted to chief of police in her small community after her fathers retirement. Her already complicated life becomes even more complicated with a series of brutal, bizarre homicides, followed by a series of strange disappearances. In the middle, Reid, a videographer who has a magnetic pull on Jane shows up in town. A fun, fast paced mystery that ends with me wanting more.

Another great mystery by Colleen Coble. The main mystery was revealed at a great pace along with secondary secrets.

This book caught me a bit off guard - I expected a murder mystery but this was a Christian murder mystery. It reminded me of watching Veggie Tales with my daughter. I did forsee the ending of the book but I liked the characters. If you enjoy faith based books I would recommend.

In the small town of Pelican Harbor, Alabama, newly-appointed police chief Jane Hardy must prove her capability in dealing with a vigilante, murder, abduction, and allegations against her father—plus journalist Reid Bechtol, as he films her for a documentary. It‘s a lot to handle, even without taking the secrets of her past into account—and proves to be an entertaining, over-the-top story of secrets, suspicion, and a lie that changed everything.

Colleen Coble knows how to write romantic suspense. In this book, weaves the lives of a father-daughter duo who escape a cult compound into a small town in Alabama that suddenly sees a multitude of murders and violence. The plot moves fast with plenty of adrenaline, action, and unforeseen twists; romance is subtle. From one little lie in each of the character's past and/or present, they collide into each other in one brilliantly plotted story.
