Teri Blake-Addison
review 1: Steal Away is the first book in the Teri Blake Addison Mystery Series. I found this book at my local library and after reading the back cover, thought I'd give it a try. Teri Blake Addison is former cop turned private investigator. In addition to the pressures of her job, she's a newlywed, married to a professor who was widowed when his first wife died of cancer. Teri finds it hard to live in the shadows of the perfect first wife.Ellen Houseman is about a pastor's wife who disappears while sailing with some friends. As details come out about the accident, it appears that Ellen has been living somewhat of a double life. Her husband Carl, is so busy with his ministry empire that he inadvertently drives his wife and kids to pursue their own lives.Though engaged to b... moree re-married - Carl has a "sense" that something about the accident isn't right, and hires Teri to investigate the case. What Teri finds rocks everyone to the core and Carl faces losing his high profile ministry.If you're into mystery and suspense - I recommend giving this one a try.
review 2: I haven't read much fiction lately. So, I picked up this novel that I've had for a while. I know it was an impulse buy from the bargains in Christian fiction. Actually, I was really drawn into this mystery revolving around the disappearance of a famous evangelist's wife. It has been five years since the supposed death of Ellen Houseman in a sailing accident, but for some reason, her husband wants to re-open the case and hires PI Teri Blake-Addison for the job. It's a quick read, but a little unsatisfying at the end. I did enjoy reading this novel, but I don't usually gravitate to mystery or crime even in a Christian setting. less
