About the Book:

So when a troubled youth, Londy Atkins, is arrested for the murder of the mayor and Carly is summoned to the crime scene, she's eager for some action. Carly presses Londy for a confession but he swears his innocence, and despite her better judgment, Carly is inclined to believe him. Yet homicide is convinced of his guilt and is determined to convict him. Carly's ex-husband and fellow police officer, Nick, appears to be on her side. He's determined to show Carly that he's a changed man and win her back, but she isn't convinced he won't betray her again.As the investigation progresses, Carly suspects a cover-up and strikes out on her own, uncertain whom she can trust. But when danger mounts, she begins to wonder if she made the right choice."

My Review:

This book really kept me on the edge of my seat! Not only was the book well-written, but it dealt with very real issues including those that non-believers deal with. One of the hardest things for non-believers to come to grips with is the change that they see in a Christian: is it real or is there an ulterior motive? Carly is no different as she struggles to determine that answer with her ex-husband.

Not only is Carly dealing with personal struggles but she is also dealing with work struggles. The Lord uses the intersection of these situations gain Carly's attention but what will her choice be? This was definitely a great book, and I am excited to read more about Carly in the next two books!
