A story of two people who have a lot of history and pain in the setting of Yancey, Alaska. They last saw each other ten years ago when Bailey Craig became known as the town tramp and fled the town breaking Cole McKenna's heart. She never, ever wanted to return to Yancey but HAD to because of the death of a beloved family member. They both share the love of deep water diving which comes in handy as they both are thrown together, almost against their will, to help solve murders as they continue to crop up and to try to stop the killer before he strikes again!
I really, really enjoyed this book. The characters of Bailey and Cole were so well developed as were the additional family members and members of the town. You really got involved in their personalities and were drawn into caring about their stories. I know that's not always easily done but I believe the author did a bang up job of it. As soon as I started reading it, I didn't want to put it down; of course I had to at times because of my reading time being interrupted. But I picked it back up at the first opportunity; as soon as I could. I haven't read any modern fiction in a while, Christian or otherwise, but really liked how the subtle flavor of Jesus was placed in the story without being preachy. I'm glad this was my first trip back into modern fiction. I also noticed that this is Alaskan Courage "Book One"; I will be watching for the next one, Book 2. Wish I had it in my hands right now!!
I got this book FREE from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for an honest review.
