A small-town scandal quickly turns into a national media event. Is the murderer one of the obvious suspects . . . or someone they have no reason to doubt?
Ben Jackson is going head to head with Jonathan Cleary in Cape Refuge’s mayoral race—and he’s even expected to win—when his wife Lisa turns up missing the day before the major debate. Suddenly the town is in turmoil as proof of an alleged affair surfaces, indicating that Ben Jackson might have had motive to kill his wife.
Meanwhile, newspaper owner Blair Owens has other suspicions—and so does Police Chief Cade. Together they dig deeply into the mysterious disappearance that soon spirals into a web of confusion, dark secrets, and unsettling fraud.
Then the town’s psychic reveals the location of Lisa’s body—at the bottom of the river. Even though Blair doesn’t believe his paranormal gift is real, she can’t imagine how he knew where the body was.

"I am really enjoying the Cape Refuge Series. This 3rd book is another unique blend of murder/mystery and Christian fiction. I look forward to completing this series with the 4th book, Breaker's Reef. Author, Terri Blackstock, is a talented writer, and I plan to add more of her books to my library."

— Lauren, 12/30/2013" Intriguing. The best yet! "
— Gigi, 12/29/2013" I enjoyed this as I have all of the Cape Refuge series. I also appreciate that Ms. Blockstock's main characters, while Christian, are not portrayed as perfect but rather human, which makes them more believable. "
— Scott, 12/27/2013" What can I say. Another great book. "
— Brenda, 12/23/2013" Another good book from this author. I couldn't put it down. I read 10 chapters last night and finished it today. Very easy read. Can't wait to start the last book in this series. "

— Shawnna, 12/9/2013" I thought it was a good mystery... the second owe may be my favorite, but i they were all really good books!!! :) "
— Meagan, 12/8/2013" 363 pgs. The final of the 3-part series. I became fond of the characters, but not a lot of depth here. "
— Linda, 7/4/2013" This series is a great read....I think I liked book 2 best so far. "
— Me, 6/30/2013" This the third book in the cape refuge series. It is a christian based murder mystery. I found I could not put it down. I am on the last book in this series and its only been four days. Well worth reading if you like a little mystery! "
— Tammy, 6/10/2013" Plenty of bad guys. Which one killed Lisa? "
— Mary, 12/17/2012" this series is an incredible read! not only thrilling, but romance, mystery, and well-developed characters...I wasn't able to put down any of them, they are extremely captivating. "
— Alaina, 11/3/2012" As always with T. Blackstock books she is hit or miss. This book was OK. A little predictable, but it kept my attention. "
— Matt, 7/24/2012" Another decent read on the Cape Refuge Series. It was a bit predictable but still had me surprised by "who done it"! The relationship between Cade and Blair is getting a bit tedious. I hope now that they've declared their love they can get on with life! "
— Ellen, 6/26/2012" Excellant series. "
— Jane, 4/15/2012" Still a page turner, but maybe I am getting bored with the series. I should have waited longer in between books. "
— Maria, 7/15/2011" Thought this series was pretty decent for Christian fiction. "
— Alicia, 6/9/2011" i liked it better than the second one. "
— Mar, 2/3/2011" 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. "
— Andrea, 12/16/2010" Good book. Part of a series. Each book is a mystery, but is also very faith oriented. If the faith is off putting, do not read theses. I found the books enjoyable. "
— Barbara, 10/23/2010" A sappy Christian murder mystery with a fairly good twist, but the love story and the crazy wedding turned closing crime scene bust was way too much and over the top for me. "
— Stephen, 10/9/2010" 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, 4/26/2010" A good book, but I didn't like it as much as the others. The story got a little too long and outlandish. I'm looking forward to reading Terri's other books. "
— Sandy, 4/4/2010" Wow! Awesome read, I read it in one sitting. The end will completely surprise you! Again, wow! "
— Casey, 1/30/2010" This was much better than the third book. I REALLY enjoyed it though the ending was rather abrupt. "
— Maria, 1/26/2010" Took an unexpected twist at the end... "
— Jesi, 8/12/2009" I love this author! I didn't read the other titles in this series but "Breaker's Reef" was well written and a little scary actually. <br/>Good story line with a surprise ending. "
— Cranberry, 7/27/2009" Absolutely wonderful. I just love this whole series. "
— Jessie, 5/28/2009" This book along with the others in this series is a good read. Set on the ocean with real characters a mystery develops that holds the reader spellbound for several pages. "
— Kay, 1/16/2009" I only read it to finish the series. It turned out better than I thought it would be. Better than the 3rd in the series. Still a little too much like the other one's. "
— Melissa, 12/8/2008" Sad when the series came to an end. "
— Jenni, 11/22/2008" 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. "
— 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.
