I believe this is part of a series. The main character is Rae Gabriella picking up the pieces of her life after a traumatic event. This is well written and has made me eager to read the preceeding books.

Not up to Henderson's usually story telling. It was good, although I was disappointed in the ending. Maybe there'll be a sequel and I can satisfy my curiosity.

Not what I expected...Dee definitley has a gift for writing suspence, but this book is NOT one of her best. I would suggest the O'Malley series (my favorites), way over this book.

Dee Henderson does it again. Very suspenseful and a page turner. This should be a series. A woman, Gabriella, who worked as an agent in DC, moves to a small town in Illinois, to work with an old friend and ex-agent, Bruce, who runs a private investigation business. The night she hits town a murder takes place in the same hotel she is staying. All signs point to natural causes but both her and the town sheriff believe there is more then what the autopsy reports. Two other women die and that leaves her as a target. There are some suspicious happenings in town and they are on the trail.

Fun read that keeps your attention. There are also some wonderfully insightful conversations between the main characters about the nature of God and our relationship with Him. Definitely not preachy or heavy, just mixed in nicely.

This was one of the first Dee Henderson books we read. Make the discovery that we really like this TYPE of book. A little suspense was what we didnt know we would like.

I liked the murder-mystery aspect of this novel, with the subtle romantic themes woven through. Though it is Christian Fiction, it did not beat you over the head with long rambling prostelyzing. I liked the book well enough to make it a recent book selection for my Christian Fiction book club, however, we all agreed there were some gaps in the book (references made earlier, then never mentioned or followed up with later on). We were all left at the end wondering, "What next?" This must be part of a series.

Book Description
The sheriff of Justice, Illinois, is hunting a killer. Women visiting town are being murdered, tourists in nice hotels, money still in their billfolds, jewelry still on the dresser. Quiet kills - they go to sleep and never awaken. The sheriff is not pleased to find the new detective in town, Rae Gabriella, working the case on behalf of one of the families. She's staying in the same hotel as one of the victims - and her classy looks and upscale car suggest she could be the next victim. This title has been transferred to Tyndale Publishing.
