Nancy Mehl is a very cinematic writer. I could easily see this series becoming a TV mini series.
I love that this book has its own case as well as an overarching case and romance as well as a strong character arc of each of the two leads.
I love how Mehl weaves in the story of the crime (through the perspective of the victims and the criminals) with the perspectives of River and Tony. She slowly reveals what happening, layer by layer, and always leaves you wanting more in the best way!
The crimes here are realistic but not gratuitous. If you like crime procedurals that air on network channels, I think you will appreciate these books!
Plus, the faith elements in these is so realistic! I love how the characters have to contend with real life issues and confront their faith in the process. This isn’t surface level belief, but deep soul change and understanding.
Content Note: murder, stalking, death, arson, kidnapping, Alzheimer’s, infidelity
Thanks to Bethany House Fiction for the gifted book. All opinions are my own.
