I always enjoy this author's writing, so it was easy to dive into her latest novel. Aaliyah Terence, a park ranger, stumbles across a serial killer’s burial ground—with the help of her loyal dog—and narrowly escapes when the killer returns to retrieve something he left behind.

Cold case detective Wade arrives in town just as the graves are discovered, and it quickly becomes clear that his investigation is connected. The past and present collide, secrets begin to unfold, and what started as a rocky first impression between Aaliyah and Wade shifts when she becomes a target. Wade finds himself juggling the pressure of solving the case while also trying to keep her safe.

I had a few theories as I read—some were right, some weren’t—which kept the mystery engaging.

If you enjoy suspenseful Christian fiction with a strong thread of mystery, this one’s worth picking up.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review

A lovely story about Aaliyah Terrence, a park ranger in the Montana wilderness and Wade Marlowe, a cold case detective who together investigate graves found in a favorite park location. Well-developed characters and a plot that keeps the reader guessing…would certainly enjoy reading about their future. I received an ARC from NetGalley, and the opinions expressed are my own.
