This book is full of

  mystery and intrigue... 

murder... and love... 

And by full - I mean A LOT...

I love EVERY book I've read by Patricia Bradley!

But this one has at least five or six sub-plots going on at the same time... 

and while most of them came together in the end,

 honestly - it was a little too much for me to keep up...

 But I did -

and it was all good in the end.

 

Madison Thorn was sent to Natchez, Mississippi to investigate white collar crime... but she also learns about human trafficking in the area and has to deal with the murder of her grandfather, who is a judge. In addition to all of this, someone wants her dead. AND there is also several life changing events happening in the midst of it all... 

Even though there were a lot of characters to keep up with, each of them was well-developed and I felt like I knew them in the end...

I especially loved the setting in Natchez, Mississippi since we've recently taken the time to drive the entire Natchez Trace 

and visited several places mentioned in the book

Patricia Bradley does a wonderful job bringing all the story-lines together in the closure of the book. I think this is a story of love, and forgiveness, and realizing that even those we trust the most are not perfect.

It was refreshing to see characters who have a real [every-day] relationship with God. One where they rely on Him and talk with others about the salvation, peace, and strength He can give us. Even in the midst of all the "stuff" of life. And rest assured, Madison is dealing with A LOT of stuff in this book!

Note: I was given a copy of this book from the publisher for review purposes.
