I received a free
copy of this book through a giveaway on The Suspense Sisters Blog.
It was more than
a break-in. More than a stalking. It was personal. When a stalker targets his
wife and two daughters, journalist Jack Crittendon must uncover who the person
is and what his motives are – if he is to protect the ones he loves. The
investigation leads Crittendon into a world of behind-closed-door secrets and
faith gone awry, as does his story on a missing pastor, whose apparent suicide
is more than it appears.
Each move
Crittendon makes weaves him tighter and tighter into a web of lies, greed, hypocrisy,
sin, and danger. He believed he’d never give in to fear and the hate it leads
to. But that was before. And holding on to his faith won’t be easy. Nor will
keeping his family safe and ending the terror. Because that might require him
to step over lines he said he would never cross.
Creston has
created very believable characters in this book. It is very easy to relate to
the emotions that both Jack and his wife, Pam, are dealing with as they go through
this very scary time in their lives. They are struggling to hold on to their
belief in God which is true to human nature when problems that are beyond our
control come our way.
In the midst of the
problems the Crittenden family is facing Jack is also trying to keep on track
with doing his job working with the family of the missing pastor on the story
of his disappearance. The two stories are wonderfully interwoven. This book
kept my interest as I was following along and trying to figure out if and how
the two stories may connect.
This is a great
book and I highly recommend it. I give it 5-stars.
