My Thoughts......

  I just love these books! Ann has a way of pulling you in and making you want to read page after page without putting it down. This book has all the pieces to a good mystery. Intrigue, suspense, even a little bit of checking things out over your shoulder, makes for a fantastic read. I loved this first book in the series and this one was no different.

 The book begins with our trusted deputy Michael (from book one) doing what he thinks is the right thing to do. He saves a man, but in doing so a string of events happen that look as if they could ruin not only his life but the lives of others around him. 

There were moments in this book where I was sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for what would happen next. With our favorite Mayberry-like characters back from book one and Ann's fantastic writing style, this book will most definitely be a favorite. I did however figure out the "bad guy" about half way through the book, but there was still a twist I didn't expect. The only negative I had was I wanted to know a little bit more about the bad guy. Why he did it and such.

Overall an awesome book and I can't wait to read the next in the series.

I received a copy of this book from Revell in exchange for my honest review. A positive review was not required.
