My Review

I enjoyed this inspirational romantic suspense. The plot is interesting in that Cassidy thinks she has identified multiple murders done by the same person. This is a problem because the evidence seems to point to accidents. She has to prove her idea when conclusions have already been drawn. That is one obstacle Cassidy has to overcome.

The character relationships are interesting too. Cassidy is forced to work with Kyle where a past event makes him have great distrust of her. So one issue explored in this novel is making assumptions or drawing conclusions without all the evidence. That's what Kyle did and it prevents a possible relationship development with Cassidy. That is a second obstacle Cassidy must overcome if she is going to work with Kyle to find the elusive killer.

This is novel well written with an interesting plot and well developed characters. Abrams' writing style is good. The novel contains insights into making judgments too quickly and forgiving when blame is projected onto someone else because of self guilt.

My rating: 4/5 stars.

About the Author

Award-winning, bestselling author Sami Abrams grew up hating to read. It wasn’t until her 30’s that she found authors that captured her attention. Now, most evenings, you can find her engrossed in a Romantic Suspense. In her opinion, a crime and a little romance is the recipe for a great story.

She lives in Northern California, but she will always be a Kansas girl at heart. She has a love of sports, family, and travel. However, a cabin at Lake Tahoe writing her next story is definitely at the top of her list.

More from Sami

While coming up with the idea for Kyle and Cassidy’s story, Killer Christmas Evidence, I loved the idea of a serial killer that no one knew about. Someone who killed in different places and in different ways to avoid detection. Kim Rossmo’s theory on Geographic Profiling was intriguing, and I wanted to implement that concept. But, as I started to write, I realized the idea was too big for a Love Inspired Suspense length book, so I had to adjust the story a bit to fit the situation. The basics are there, just not the details I had hoped for.

However, when I sat down to write and I got to know Kyle and Cassidy a little better, I realized the story wasn’t about the stealth serial killer, but about learning to let go of guilt and learning to forgive. How many times in our lives due to being hurt or the pain of loss do we assume we know the truth? Yet, if we listened—really listened—we discover not everything is what is appears to be. And the truth is not painful, but healing.
