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 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.”

"Fourth and final in the Cape Refuge Series and by far the best! I found this one very suspenseful, maybe really getting to know the characters helped make the book more interesting. She uses her Christian values without going over the top and taking away from the story. "
— Kathy (4 out of 5 stars)
" An all time favorite 😊 "
— Kassidy, 7/25/2017" This is definitely a page turner! "
— Jenica, 2/14/2014" Wow! Awesome read, I read it in one sitting. The end will completely surprise you! Again, wow! "
— Casey, 2/8/2014" The fourth entry in Blackstock's Cape Refuge series finds a couple of murders, a new baby and a wedding occurring on the small island, all within a short span of time. Jonathan and Morgan are expecting (their infertility travails are documented in the third entry in the series); Cade and Blair are going to the chapel (theirs is the most realistic romance); and, of course, a mystery. There are a couple of notable plot turns that I didn't see coming and Blackstock explores the concept of what it means to be born again and to truly hate the sins one has committed through her character, Sheila Caruso (introduced in the first entry in the series).

— Kris, 1/23/2014" This book started out pretty good. It was a page-turner and got me pretty scared. But then it went all religious on me and I don't like those types of books... I dont know why. Plus the ending, I felt, was anti-climatic. Bleh. "

— shalla, 8/24/2011" Much better than the last two books in the series. It was nice to end on a good note. I still would be packing my bags instead of staying in Cape Refuge, but the story flowed well (for the most part) and there was finally closure with the romance that had been dragging on. "

— Kmoku146, 11/12/2008Terri Blackstock made a decision more than a decade ago that permanently changed the direction of her writing career. She had grown to become an award-winning secular novelist of over thirty published titles. And yet she was miserable, and her career left her unfulfilled. One night she decided she would never again write something that was displeasing to God. Since then she has written more than thirty novels, many of which were New York Times bestsellers, and was given the Retailers Choice Award in 2007 for best Christian novel in the general fiction category for Night Light. She lives in Mississippi with her husband, Ken.
