I really enjoy suspense and murder mysteries. I liked this one because it kept me intrigued and guessing. Usually you know if you will like a book after the first few chapters, this was the case for me. Jaymee, our main character, had me feeling so sorry for her. I liked the mystery with her working and staying below the radar. She is easy to care about as her feelings about her child are made known. She just wants to find the child she had to give up.
There are scenes where she is being questioned about the murder and people, including the Pastor, are written in a threatening way. Very suspenseful plot addition to see people who are “authority” type figure to be a threat.
Some of the secondary characters like Cage, the detective grab a hold of you too. Nick and Cage together are enjoyable cops to read about. They work well with Jaymee, as she gets into a bit of trouble here and there. For me not actually liking Nick from time to time helped me get over the lack of romance. I sort of wanted them to have a shooting fireworks moment.
I also liked and was fascinated with the scenery. I found the history and descriptions of Roselea, Mississippi written well. There is a lot to love about the characters, small town feel and the backdrop of Mississsippi. Enjoy!
