My Thoughts

If you enjoy psychological thrillers then this is the book for you. This will definitely keep you guessing with all its twists and turns. The suspense starts from the very beginning. The plot is well thought of and the characters are well written. You are immersed in this family and the lies and secrets that surround them. Who knew there were good Christian Psychological thrillers out there, I definitely didn't and I was surprised by this author.

The one thing I didn't really love about this book is that the ending seemed a bit off. I think there could have been a bit more closure with the killer and the main character it really ended in an abrupt way which I didn't like much but I still found the book to be good. This was my first book by this author but I will definitely be adding to my to be read authors list!

My Rating: 3 Stars ~ I Liked it

About the Author

The author of two previous highly-rated thrillers (The Linen God and The Reluctant Disciple), Jim O’Shea spends his time crafting novels of suspense that frequently tackle the dynamic between faith and science. Jim believes God continues to reveal his creation masterpiece through scientific discovery, and that Christian fiction is a great tool to expose those emerging truths.

His third novel, “Blood Sisters”, is also very highly rated on Amazon but takes a more traditional approach to mystery/thrillers with a mind-bending whodunit in the tradition of Agatha Christie. His fourth novel, “The Beacon”, will return to his faith/science roots and feature a compelling blend of espionage, leading-edge science, and salvation.

More from Jim

I’m fascinated by science in general, but more specifically by discoveries over the past hundred years that point directly to a Creator and His creation. The new findings fly in the face of mainstream physics which suggests matter and energy make up everything in our universe and that all things, including our consciousness or soul, are direct results of their interactions.

Fortunately, humankind’s advancements in physics, cosmology, quantum mechanics, biology, etc. point directly to the fact that the universe had an actual beginning as claimed in the Bible and our existence can not be explained by natural processes such as evolution. This should be a great comfort to every Christian, and my writing often tries to take these emerging truths and wrap them up into page-turning stories that provide the reader not with just a thrill ride, but also a glimpse into God’s glory!
