A year ago Shauna’s
husband, Jack, died in a climbing accident with his friend, Zach.
Shauna is left alone with her son, Alex, and she can’t forgive Zach
for his thrill seeking ways that led to Jack’s death. Helped by her
business partner, Clarence, Shauna runs a helicopter charter business
that is barely allowing her to make ends meet and is learning aerial
photography with the hope of selling photos.
Before Clarence is
killed in an explosion, he gives Shauna a box containing photographs
and her mother’s necklace. This surprises Shauna because her mother
was killed in an earthquake years ago. When Lucy, Clarence’s
estranged wife is also murdered, Shauna realizes that she may be in
danger and much as she wants to keep hating Zach, she turns to him to
protect her and Alex.
The emphasis in the
book is on the developing relationship between Shauna and Zach with a
mystery that forces them together. I enjoyed the mystery although
there are inconsistencies that intrude into the enjoyment of the
plot.
The characters are
not my favorites from Coble. For ex-Navy, I thought Shauna was far
too weepy and needy. I did enjoy Zach. He was willing to take
responsibility for Jack’s death and tried to make it up to Shauna
and Alex. I felt the killer was too easy to guess and some of his
inconsistencies in method were disturbing.
If you enjoy
Christian fiction, this is a good romance and mystery combined.
I received this book
from BookLook Bloggers for this review.
