ABOUT THE BOOK



Kariss meets Dr. Amy Garrett, who survived a brutal childhood attack in which the assailant was never found. Now Dr. Garrett wants her story written in a novel. Kariss wishes she could seek the advice of Special Agent Tigo Harris, but she broke off the relationship a few months prior and seeing him again would be too painful. She interviews Amy and conducts her own research, stepping unaware into a viper's pit of danger. Tigo misses Kariss and wants her back, but he understands why she broke off their relationship. Instead, he concentrates on solving a car bombing and bringing the killer to justice. As Kariss's new story attracts an onslaught of danger that she never expected, can Tigo save the woman he loves and find who wants her dead for writing about an unsolved cold-case?

Book review:
   I've only read one other of DiAnn Mill's books, which was the first one in this series. I really enjoyed it, but this one is even better. She brought back the same main characters from the first book and resolved some of their issues, and wrote another great suspense novel. In addition to the great plot and suspense, she also deals with  character having doubts about God. I love good Christians suspense, but I really like it when an author can work an issue like that into the story without detracting from it or coming to a quick and easy fix. This book was hard to put down and I enjoyed every minute of reading it.
