If you caught my blog yesterday, I said this review was coming soon. :) 


This was a fantastic, keep you on the edge of your seat ride! I have read Lynn's earlier Love Inspired Suspense books and I thoroughly enjoyed them. When I heard she was releasing a full length novel I was excited to give it a read. I am so glad I did. Her main female character Leigh being adopted as a baby from China(how cool is that?). It's also chock full of several laugh out lines, my favorite being:
"And something other than Coke to drink." 
"I like it."
"That stuff can kill you."
"It's going to have to get in line."
Since I am a major coke drinker that back and forth tickled my funny bone!

I also adored the fact that the main male character's nephew had autism. He doesn't play a major role but still being someone affected by autism, that was a nice addition. I also loved the character of Mr. Cook. He was a no nonsense kind of guy who aided Leigh and Ryan early in the book. I would have liked to see more of him. The mystery was intense and kept me guessing throughout. Very well written, and that is coming from someone who reads and watches a LOT of mysteries.

All in all, this was a can't miss mystery and I am eagerly looking forward to the next books in this series....and so is my husband who read the book before I good get my hands on it! 

Stay tuned for my next review, "The Weaver's Daughter" by Sarah Ladd
