And God wins.
I do not, in the least, mean
for the three previous words to be flippant, sarcastic, or misconstrued in any
way. God wins! Terri Blackstock weaves this theme throughout
her Cape Refuge Series, and greatly desires that if you don’t get anything else
from her works of fiction, you will come away with this message: God wins!
When a teenage girl’s body is
discovered in a boat between Tybee Island and Cape Refuge, all evidence points
to a famous mystery writer who has taken up residence in the small town, Marcus
Gibson. Sheila Caruso, a newly-employed
secretary for the best-selling author, discovers that a scene in one of his
books perfectly mirrors the crime scene, and the author’s eccentricities lend
support to the theory.
When a second dead teenager
is discovered – again, paralleling a scene from one of Gibson’s novels – Police
Chief Cade is pretty much convinced he has his man. Then Sheila’s daughter, Sadie, goes
missing. In a race against time, there
are many questions to be answered. And
many lessons to be learned.
Facing the challenges of
stereotypes, prejudice, injustice, and the ever-present darkness of the human
heart, Terri Blackstock just wants every one of her readers to know . . . God
wins.
In the latest chapter of the
series, BREAKER’S REEF, Terri Blackstock brings new challenges to familiar
faces. While references are made to
situations in the previous books, BREAKER’S REEF is easily read on its
own. Readers new to the Cape Refuge
series will be able to meet the residents of Cape Refuge, and develop a
relationship with them that will instill in them a desire to “go back to the
beginning.”
5 Stars for a message for
page-turning suspense!
