In the third book in
the Cape Refuge Series, Morgan and Jonathan are still running Hanover
House, a transitional facility for drug offenders. To complicate
their lives, Jonathan is running for mayor and they are trying to
have a baby, but with little success.
Morgan is drawn to
Lisa, wife of another mayoral candidate because they both have
fertility problems. When Lisa disappears, the investigation centers
on her husband. The evidence is there, but Chief of Police Cade, has
trouble thinking
The characters are
believable. Morgan and Jonathan are the kind of sympathetic people
that make running a transition house work. Their problems are
something many people can relate to: the rigors of a campaign, and
the heartbreak of being unable to conceive a child.
It may surprise
readers new to Cape Refuge that the book is not only a murder
mystery, but also a portrayal of Christian values. Blackstock isn't
too heavy handed with her Christian message, but the ideals of family
and helping others are well illustrated by the way Morgan and
Jonathan run Hanover House.
I recommend this
book if you like a mystery with a twist at the end that is relatively
free of violence.
I reviewed this book
for BookLook Bloggers.
