This is the first in a series of four books chronicling the lives of Christians and nonbelievers on a small island off the coast of Georgia called Cape Refuge. The mystery centers on who killed two beloved people in Cape Refuge, a married couple who owned and operated a Christian halfway house for reformed criminals and addicts. A few red herrings are tossed about here and there, but the mystery itself is solid. Morgan, the Christian daughter, assumes the everyday responsibilites of Hanover House while her agnostic sister, Blair, the town librarian, begins doing research in an effort to clear her brother-in-law's name. There's a budding romance between Blair and police chief Matthew Cade that's more fully explored in the other books, but Morgan and Jonathan provide a nice example of a happily married Christian couple.
