CROSSBONES by C. C. Warrens, Reviewed by Rebecca Maney

 

Christian Suspense (A Holly Novel Book 6)

REBECCA'S REVIEW:
"I think you'll find that we are the only detective agency that keeps marshmallows in a sealed container for customers . . . "

JGH Investigations might appear a bit unconventional, but they make up for lagging aesthetics with their iron clad determination to track down every lead. Their current assignment hits extremely close to heart and home, for Holly's best friend Jace has requested that she and Jordan find out what really happened to Jace's brother Scott, who remains in a coma after a vicious beating. Unfortunately, Jace's mother continues to pursue legal action to end life support, literally burying any evidence related to the attack. Something isn't adding up. (Or being covered up?)

As the layers of the evening in question begin to unravel, the two investigators manage to track down leads that were either missed or ignored, directing their focus towards questionable characters, reluctant witnesses, dead bodies; resulting in multiple attempts on their lives. What in the world had Scott Walker been into, and how in the world is Holly going to explain it all to Jace? (If she has breath to tell the story.)

With her signature humor and deft plotting skills, (not to mention designing one of the most iconic personalities in contemporary suspense) this author has penned yet another wonderful blend of character and story, displaying deep spiritual connotations and unexpected outcomes.

I couldn't turn the pages fast enough! 

*I purchased a copy and was under no obligation to provide a positive review. 4.5 stars.

BackCover Blurb:

“Sticks and stones will break your bones, if you make me hurt you.”
Some truths are better left buried, but Jace Walker is determined to unearth the skeletons in her family’s closet. Leverage is all she needs to keep her brother alive, and she’s willing to risk everything to save him.

Even her life.
But is she willing to risk the lives of her friends?

Holly and Jordan take on the case, but what should be a simple investigation takes a deadly turn when they stumble onto a murder. Family secrets are the least of their concerns as their path intertwines with a killer intent on remaining hidden.

He doesn’t want to be found.
He doesn’t want to be known.
And anyone who threatens his anonymity dies.
