CASCADE by Linda K. Rodante, Reviewed by Paula Shreckhise

 Book 3 of The Waterfall Mysteries, 
Christian romantic mystery and suspense series, small town, Tennessee mountains


PAULA'S REVIEW:

This third book in the Waterfall Mysteries is an exciting story that brings old friends back together and new friends along for the ride.
 
Witnesses to a shooting, Crista and Sid meet near a remote waterfall while hiking. Things get intriguing and mystifying when they learn who is shot and his connections to the local hospital. They are targeted for what they know and for what they don’t know they know.
 
Dramatic and well plotted, there are several suspects but it was hard to pin down who the actual shooter was. I liked the setting of the waterfall hike and even the hospital scenes were interesting. 

A key element was the faith of Sid and Crista. Crista was growing in her walk with God and prayed for the victim, David, even though it got her in trouble with the hospital staff. Sid was trying to forgive himself for an incident in the past, but he knew that Christ died for him. He only wanted to reflect the love of Jesus to others. 

A fine conclusion to the series, it gives your brain a workout.
*A complimentary copy of this book was provided by the author through JustRead tours. I was not required to post a favorable review. All opinions are mine alone.*4.5 stars and a solid faith thread
 

BackCover Blurb:
A fresh start in the Tennessee mountains was supposed to bring peace. Instead, it brought a killer.

Crista Henson fled to a quiet Tennessee town to rebuild her shattered life, trading her past for a fresh start as a vacation planner and a deeper reliance on God. She wants peace. Instead, she finds herself tangled in a deadly web of secrets with enough suspects to challenge Hercule Poirot himself. She never planned on playing amateur sleuth—and she certainly didn't plan on Sid Martin.

Sid is running from his own devastating past, swearing off the wilderness forever.
But when a friend lures him back, a desperate cry for help and a brutal attempted murder force him to confront his guilt and his fears.

As their investigation expands and danger closes in, can Crista and Sid narrow the suspects in time to prevent their own demise?
