Next up is Shadows of the Past by Patricia Bradley -
Talylor Martin’s job as both Psychology professor and a
criminal profiler was to dig into people’s minds – to figure out what makes
them tick. But that wasn’t helping her discover what happened to her father 20
years ago. Or who was stalking her. But a clue left at a murder scene reignites
hope and sends her to the town of Logan Point, Mississippi. Mystery novelist Nick Sinclair is wrestling with guilt over
his wife’s death while he looks for his estranged brother. His search seems to
point to his brother as Taylor’s stalker. Determined to prove his brother’s
innocence and help Taylor find the truth, Nick offers his help.
What follows is a thrilling and suspenseful mystery that seamlessly
weaves in an important spiritual truth about the struggle we have when God
doesn’t seem to answer our prayers.
I just did a review about this book for our church newsletter, so I'm thrilled to see it on sale. Mississippi author Pat Bradley does a stellar job of building unexpected mysteries, sprinkling in sweet romance and layering the whole story with the grace of God. If I'm in the mood for a good, romantic suspense, she's one of my favorites. This one makes me want to curl up in my favorite chair with a cup of coffee and a warm blanket.
