A gripping tale from New York Times bestselling suspense author Terri Blackstock. When the kindest couple in Cape Refuge is found murdered at their church, their daughter will have to find the killer . . . before her own husband is convicted.
Wade and Thelma Owens run a halfway house on the small island of Cape Refuge that caters to wayward souls just out of prison. So when Wade and Thelma turn up brutally murdered, the town goes into shock, concerned that one of the Hanover House residents is a murderer who could strike again.
Shattered by her parents' deaths, Morgan Cleary struggles to keep Hanover House running while her husband, Jonathan, has been arrested for the murder.
As the killer runs free, a lethal race against time ensues, with far more than the halfway house at stake.
Full-length suspense novel with a thread of romance
Part of my irritation was the syrupy accent the narrator used for the voice characterizations. I was raised in the South, so the accent doesn’t bother me, but audiobook narrators don’t need to use regional accents unless it is integral to the plot. Knowing the setting is Tybee Island is sufficient.
The other annoyance was Morgan. If I had to listen to one more whining, sobbing dialogue of “what about my husband? I neeeeeeed him. Oh, poor, pitiful, incapable-of-being-an-adult me,” I swear I was going to reach through the audio pages and slap the snot out of her.
Sister Blair was moderately likeable. Angry all the time and prone to jump into the kool-aid without knowing the flavor, but she’s working through issues. Maybe she would have become more interesting as the story continued. I’ll never know.
The overall tone of the story is high drama. Not interesting-dramatic-drama. More like drama-llama-drama. Could be my mood, but the longer I listened, the more I hated the characters with their over the top reactions. Maybe I’ll try this book another time. If that makes a difference, I will update my rating. ( )
There were some things with the book that were overlooked, but it was better than most Christian suspense I have read lately. I would actually rate it 3.5 stars if possible. ( )
