Three Missing Days by Colleen Coble is the third book in the Pelican Harbor series, but it can be read as a standalone. I would highly recommend reading the first two books before reading this one as you might miss a few things. I did not realize that I had not read the second book before I started reading this one, but I had read the first so I had a good idea of what was going on in the book.
Colleen Coble is a masterful writer, writing riveting suspense novels that capture you from the first moment until the last. Her plot development and character development are solid, every time she writes a book. A common theme in her books is that it is hard to figure the bad guy out until the end, making her suspense novels on another level from other writers of suspense.
Three Missing Days caught my attention from the first line "I know what you did." What follows is a complicated web of deceit that started many years ago and it is hard to know who to trust and who is involved.
Jane has trust issues, but if you had been through what she had been through you would have trust issues as well. In some ways her life is like Job, she loses everything, but then the Lord gives back tenfold. I think her trust issues and doubts make her more relatable and her raw emotions in this book more real. She has to be strong for her job but the circumstances in this book break her in a way we had not seen before.
Reid is struggling with Lauren popping back into his and Will's life and bitter that when everything he has ever wanted is finally in his grasp, she comes back to ruin things. He is stunned by Will being charged with murder and he desperately wants to take the accusation upon himself. He struggles in his faith, struggles to see where God is at in all this, and struggles with if it really will turn out for good.
There are many layers to this book, as avid fans of Coble have come to expect. While most things are made clear and resolution is found, you are still left with a few questions. I wonder what Jane's relationship with her mother will be, or if she will even have one with her.
Overall, this is another great suspense novel from Coble and not to be missed (although read the first two books first). Fans of Lynette Eason, Terri Blackstock, Elizabeth Goddard, Lynn Blackburn, Irene Hannon, and Patricia Bradley will enjoy this one. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good clean mystery that will keep you turning the pages long after the lights should have been turned off.
Thank you to Net Galley and Thomas Nelson for the opportunity to read this book. I was not required to give a positive review and all thoughts and opinions are my own.

In the 3rd and last book of the Pelican Harbor trilogy, the Jane Hardy, the sheriff, her 15 year old son was arrested for killing his stepmom who had abandoned him. Someone is setting him up Jane and Reed are sure of it. Will they find who did it before he is convicted?
Plus Jane has to reunite with her mother due to the demands of an individual stating Janes mom has his “stuff”.
That stuff happens to be an explosive. How does this connect with the setup to Janes son?
Will Jane and Reed get their happy ending?
This is a good crime fiction clean mystery series. Having survived being in a cult during her childhood, Jane became the local sheriff of Pelican Harbor, a tiny community that had a New Orleans flare.
There was a lot of filler and I thought the story could have wrapped up in 2 books.
Overall, I would recommend

This book was a struggle for me.
My opinion might have been different if I would have read instead of listen to it.
In the audiobook, the person reading this book makes you feel like there is not one period or a comma in the entire book. You are not sure where a paragraph ended and another one started. The voice are very weird too. The kid sounds like an old man, the women sound like men. It was extremely hard to follow.
Secondly the book's plot is simplistic at best and the ending is a bit ridiculous. Also not reading the previous books in this series played against me as there are a lot of back stories and a lot of times it felt like I arrived in the middle of a party..

9/10 ⭐️ I enjoyed the third book in this series that follows Chief of Police Jane Hardy as she seeks to solve several murders in Pelican Harbor. Each book follows a different mystery, but the overall personal story continues from books one to three.
I followed the murder mystery in this book with interest. I liked that several mysteries were going on at the same time. I also really enjoyed the family drama that has continued throughout this series. The action got more and more dramatic, and the tension was very personal to the characters and stretched their faith in God.
