Great Book. I can't wait to start the 2nd in this series. This is a suspenseful story
about a local man killing his wife and children in a house boat fire. He then disappears and no one can find him. The incident effects several people in the small town. The author does a great job of telling the story about each character and their relationship with God and how this one event changes their lives. The book was a real page-turner that kept me guessing until the last chapter. I would reccommend this to everyone.
I love adventure and suspense. A great book
