When Lieutenant Jo Riskin investigates the brutal murder of the pastor of New Life Church, she discovers that the beloved preacher may not be the man his congregation believes he is. The deeper Jo dives into his life, the longer the suspect list grows, including members of his congregation and even his own family.
While dealing with her current homicide, Jo has the opportunity to talk face-to-face with the man responsible for her husband’s murder. When he tells her he wants to cut a deal, she battles between her need for revenge and her desire to honor her husband’s legacy.
As the investigation continues and ensnares more lives in lies and scandal, Jo realizes that to untangle her own life, she has to let go and move forward.
To solve both cases, Jo must balance her need for answers with her desire for justice.

Even though they are supposed to be off duty, the on duty team has been called out to another scene. Two murders in one night ends the few quiet weeks they’ve been enjoying, so Jo and Lynae head out to solve their crime. As they wade into the case the more they uncover the more confusing things get.
I don’t know why I have such a hard time writing a review about a book I enjoyed so much. This is book 3 and I think they are only getting better. Do I love the mystery? Hell yeah! Do I love the characters? Duh! What about the writing? There’s nothing better than opening a book to that first page and sinking in so far that the real world recedes. The world, the pacing, the plot, all blend so well with the characters and the dialogue to make perfect entertainment. Is murder entertainment? What does that say about me? Eh. Who cares? This is a wonderful read and if you like a good twisty mystery then do not pass this up. I mean it.
