Description

Murder and mystery continue in Book Four of the Cape Refuge series A famous mystery writer has just moved to Cape Refuge when a teenage girl is found murdered. Sheila Caruso-ex-con, mother to Sadie and Caleb, and resident of Hanover House-is working for the writer when she discovers that a scene in one of his novels matches the crime scene. When Police Chief Cade and Blair Owens discover a second dead teenager-mirroring a murder in another of the eccentric writer's books-Cade is drawn into a show more web of trickery and deceit. Evidence turns up in Cade's own truck, and suddenly he becomes the number-one suspect. Cade tries to clear his name, but when eighteen-year-old Sadie Caruso disappears, tensions mount to a fever pitch. Can Cade find the real killer before Sadie winds up dead? Is the novelist a demented killer, or a hapless victim? And what does Sadie's own mother have to do with the crimes? Secrets are uncovered, while lessons are learned about the sins of the father being visited upon his children. Will the consequences of Sheila's life be fatal, or is there redemption and mercy for her and her children? "Chief Matthew Cade rarely considered another line of work, but news of the dead teenage girl made him long for a job as an accountant or electrician-some benign vocation that didn't require him to look into the eyes of grieving parents.". show less

Wat een geweldige serie was dit,maar dit vond ik zeker het beste deel wat een spanning en gewoon tot het einde wist ik niet wie de dader(s) was.
Een serie met veel speur werk maar zeker ook met veel liefde.
Wat zal ik de mensen van Cape Refuge gaan missen.
I wish I had known that this was book 4 of a series. I found the characters confusing because I did not know the history behind them. The story was too predictable. The more the finger pointed to a suspect the more sure I was that it was a false lead. The relationships were nice, but I just couldn’t connect with any of the characters. Not a bad read, just not her best.
Blackstock, Terri, Breaker's Reef, religious - When a famous mystery writer moves to Cape Refuge, ex-con Sheila Caruso mom to Sadie n Caleb - is hired to type for him. Police chief Cade a cop finds a murdered girl, but situation is a copy-cat of a scene from one of the novels - characters not entirely believable, but continuity from a series is good.
A cape refuge teenager is dead - then another body is found - will Sadie Caruso be the next to die?
