My Review:

This book was a really good suspense, mystery novel.  It is the second in this series and did a great job of picking up where the first one (Vanished) left off.  I loved seeing Andrea and Brian's relationship develop.  There is a sweet flirtation between the two of them and it's slowly, but surely breaking down Andrea's walls built up after several bad relationships.  True love heals.  Not only does their personal relationship develop, but so does their working relationship as they take on two new cases.  

There's a lot of twists and unexpected turns, danger and God works through and in it all.  I love how she easily pulls God into the "daily" aspects of Brian, Andrea, Trent and Diane's lives.  It's a good read and I would definitely recommend it to others who enjoy clean, mystery and suspense novels!
