As
in the first book, Meghan is a cold case detective. Her captain
assigns her to a case that separates her from her detective partner
and husband, Sean. She works on discovering what happened to a man
who went missing years ago while Sean concentrates on the unsolved
death of two boys.
The
investigative procedure makes up a good part of the plot but personal
issues are really the main focus. Meghan was raised by a single mom
with no father around. The case she is working on involves a loving
father who went missing and his daughter who wants to be an integral
part of the investigation. A missing father in both their lives makes
for good conversations about having a heavenly Father. Sean has the
opportunity to witness to his crusty and hurting detective partner.
This
is a good novel for readers who like to read about relationships
being healed and people being transformed by the gospel. There is a
very strong element of Christian faith included as well as the
healing nature of forgiveness. Sawyer does a good amount of head
hopping, jumping around people and places and even going back in time
for a few scenes. I don't particularly like that style of crafting
the plot of a novel but it does offer a broad exploration of
personalities. There is a good discussion guide included so this
novel would be a good choice for reading groups.

My rating: 4/5 stars.
