review 1: When searching for a suspect, sometimes the closer to home you look is the best plan. Madison Jacobs, a widowed mother of a son lives in a sleepy little Virginia town where everyone trusts everyone else. When a new neighbor moves in next door, she takes the proverbial casserole along with her welcome to him. He seems aloof and not interested in small talk. That’s a big enough hint for Madison. Unknown to Madison, her neighbor Brody Phillips has left New York City and is now a sheriff’s deputy in town. Their boy-meets-girl first encounter grows into something meaningful between Madison and Brody. When an attempt is made on Madison’s life, Brody thwarts it. Christy Barritt leaves clues along the way as did Hansel and Gretel, but the reader probably won’t know for sur... moree till the last few pages who the predator is and why. Barritt is a master of suspense.
review 2: Thank you Goodreads and Christy Barritt! Love winning a book...especially a murder mystery wrapped up in a touching love story. I really liked Ms. Barritt's inspirational message of "faith not fear".The portrayal of Madison's belief ran the realistic gamut of questioning not only God's plan but her faith in it, to the peace one feels when you do surrender to the knowledge of it's His will being done. Some Christian fiction characters fall into a trap of being "pious" or "preachy" and thus, losing the impact the author is striving for. The range of honesty and growth Ms. Barritt allowed to both Madison and Brody also allowed the reader room reflect on their own faith without the feeling of being lectured to.A couple typos and plot point could be nit-picked, but overall I recommend to anyone who enjoys a romantic suspense. 3.5 Stars. less
