I am returning to a favorite author and a different series by Terri Blackstock. Her books are probably classified as suspense. Not really a murder mystery, but it often seems to revolve around who is trying to hurt who. It isn’t as much intrigue as a Clancy novel, but she includes several twists that keep the reader on her toes (that would be me). The solution to the problem always includes prayer and references to specific bible passages. I enjoy this piece since our lives always have “crisis” and it shows how even in times of stress we can turn to Jesus.
The Newpointe 911 series focus’ on a small town outside New Orleans. The main characters in the book Private Justice are public servants, firemen and policemen, and their wives. Tragedy strikes when someone starts to target the fireman’s wives. In the midst of this, Allie and Mark Branning are separated. Mark is determined to protect his wife - even if it means dying. Both of them realize that they are not completely guilt free when it comes to the falling apart of their marriage. The only question besides finding the killer was wondering if Mark and Allie would have a chance to reconcile and act on their new found faith in God and each other.
This book had a slow start for me, but by the middle I was hooked. I was invested in the characters and had a couple of potential suspects. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
Blessings
