I couldn't really connect with the characters in this story. The story is very similar to Miss Congeniality but feel flat for me. I found myself drifting off as reading didn't feel like I was missing much. I don't know if that is because I didn't read the first novel, but from what I've gathered you don't have to read the first to read this study since they are stand alone. I don't think I realized this was Christian fiction, but I didn't think it really overpowered the story, which was good. It just wasn't for me.

This was a very good story. I enjoyed getting to know Kristen, her partner Don and the other CPD detectives. I loved the closeness of Kristen's family and the Christian environment included in the story.
