Amazon Synopsis:

After her husband, Jack, dies in a climbing incident, Shauna has only her five-year-old son and her helicopter charter business to live for. Every day is a struggle to make ends meet and she lives in constant fear of losing even more than she already has.

When her business partner is murdered, his final words convince Shauna that she’s in danger too. But where can she turn? Zach Bannister was her husband’s best friend and is the person she blames for his death. She’s barely spoken to him since. But right now he seems her only hope for protecting her son.

Zach is only too happy to assuage his guilt over Jack’s death by helping Shauna any way he can. But there are secrets involved dating back to Shauna’s childhood that more than one person would prefer to stay hidden.

Colleen Coble is my favorite Christian mystery author. While not all of her books have been successful, this one hits the spot. Multi-layered, suspenseful, and deep, I read it all in one sitting to unpack its secrets. Coble always includes a twist or two that leaves me reeling, and this book is no exception. While I felt the romance elements were a little lackluster, I realize that Coble's forte is suspense and any romance she includes is just a bonus. I'm intrigued by the unanswered questions that will obviously be addressed in the sequel coming out in June, and can't wait to get my hands on the next installment in this series.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
