I read this series a few years a go and enjoyed it then. My second time reading this book was no different. Barbara’s determination and faith was wonderful and Kent was really caring. Barbara’s unfailing belief in emily despite all her troubles was heart-warming. It is lovely to read a crime novel by a christian as the faith was present through out. It proves that to make a good crime novel it does not need to be full of bad language to be exciting. Looking forward to reading the other two novels and Emily and Lance getting there staring rolls.

Story totally lost points at the end. I've got the next in the series so I'll give it a listen. I wanted to hit the mother in this story. She drove me nuts.

The book had me hooked on the first scene. I thought it was a wonderfully crafted story about the struggles of living with a drug addict. The characters seemed realistic and authentic. Barbara was an amazing women, trying her best to be a good mom but not allowing herself to continue to enable her drug addicted daughter.
In addition to learning a great about the life of an addict, I found the suspense to be very well written. At times I wondered along with the main character if her daughter really could have committed murder. Then other times I was sure she couldn't.
Again, Terri Blackstock delivers a solid suspenseful plot with intriguing twists that kept me reading late into the night. I was surprised to learn that she struggled with a family member who was a drug addict. Her own experience can be clearly seen throughout the story.
Terri, thank you for sharing this part of your own life with us and giving us hope for our loved ones with similar struggles.
