simoneclark 's review for:

Aftermath by Terri Blackstock
5.0

Thank you, Netgalley and the author, for the opportunity to read and review an advanced reader's copy of this book. This in no way affects my review, all opinions are my own.

I should have known--Terri Blackstock never disappoints! She is an author who belongs on every Christian fiction reader's list of books to read. In this story, we know that a crime occurs, that Dustin is wrongly accused of the crime, that Taylor in her mentally unstable state which, understandably (!), gets worse as the story progresses has seen something that seems unrelated and trivial but may be the key to unmasking the real culprit, and that Jamie, Dustin's lawyer, is his childhood friend. So, this story is all about putting together the snippets and clues dropped throughout the book to unmask those who are responsible for the bombing and framing Dustin. The story is fast-paced as usual and once again, Terri Blackstock was able to intertwine her story with God and prayer without faith being the main focus of the book, which makes this novel a book that non-Christian readers can enjoy as much as Christian readers. Love it!!
