Summary:
A Hollywood actress returns to her roots to solve a mystery and face some past trauma. Jamie Riedel witnessed her father’s murder. Years later, she returns to figure out what really happened and close out her mother’s estate.
Additional Comments:
- The danger never seemed real.
- The bad guy had about a zillion chances to off the leading lady, but it’s not that kind of book.
- Gage played the perfect hero well enough.
- Jamie’s somebody you can root for. Her mommy issues were an interesting twist, but the conclusion to that thread was ho-hum.
- The entire mystery builds and builds at molasses in January speeds and then concludes in about 4 seconds.
- It’s a fine Christian mystery.
- This is my second experience with Anne Patrick’s writing. It’s par for Christian romantic suspense. I liked the other story I heard better, but I’d definitely give her stuff another go. Everybody misses sometimes. This one’s a near miss to me.
- Some of the side plots were interesting to watch unfold. I think several threads were laid just in case the author wanted to write a second in the series with Gage’s sister and the other cop.
- As a mystery, it’s all right. The conclusion’s satisfying even if it’s predictable. Jamie’s life choices are also predictable. She basically has everything at the beginning and has everything at the end, plus the handsome hero.
- There’s no real substance to the romance. They kiss a few times but everything seems to hinge on what they had in the past.
- I do like that not every character was a saint. That lends credence to the credibility angles.
Conclusion:
You know essentially what you’re going to get with these stories. Handsome hero. Damsel in distress who can handle herself and everybody else but still likes a hero.
