Salvation Station
by Kathryn Schleich
Thank you to the author and She Writes Press for the opportunity to read this book!
Salvation Station by Kathryn Schleich has a very intense beginning. Captain Linda Turner is brought to a home where 3 bodies are discovered. This crime is one of the worst crimes she has come across, especially since it involves two children. She will stop at nothing to find the murderer. The children and their father are discovered but their mother is nowhere to be found. Her investigation leads her to a corrupt religious organization. Ray Williams is a televangelist. However, his show only has a few supporters and cannot carry on financially. One of his members brings him ideas that she claims are from God. He agrees with these ideas. However, no one can predict how these events collide.
One thing is for sure, this book will tear at your heartstrings. Crime thrillers can be difficult to read, especially when they involve children. Although, this really has the reader rooting for Linda to solve the murder. I love Linda. She is strong, fierce, and completely devoted to her job for all the right reasons.
The beginning of the story is pretty intense with the revelation of the murder. However, after the pace does decline a bit. There are multiple points-of-view, some that I don’t feel are completely necessary. Then there are the very strong religious themes. I honestly didn’t care about this aspect at all. However, this is a really compelling and eerie mystery. I would definitely read more books by this author. I rate this book 3 out of 5 stars.
This book is available for preorder and will be available on April 14th!
