MY REVIEW

I really enjoyed this suspenseful, fast paced, Love Inspired suspense book. I liked learning about forensic botany and how it played a role with Keeley assisting with crimes in the Yukon area.

After many years Keeley runs into Brett during a crime scene who happens to be the father of her child who disappeared shortly after dating. This story had lots of suspense and action; including kidnapping, shootings, car chases and more!

I highly recommend this clean, Christian fiction about rediscovering love, faith and family.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions and views expressed are my own.

Mountain Country K-9 Unit

Book 1: Baby Protection Mission by Laura Scott
Book 2: Her Duty Bound Defender by Sharee Stover
Book 3: Chasing Justice by Valerie Hansen
Book 4: Crime Scene Secrets by Maggie K. Black
Book 5: Montana Abduction Rescue by Jodie Bailey
Book 6: Trail of Threats by Jessica R. Patch

MY REVIEW
I LOVED this Mountain Country K9 unit series! This is the second in a series of 9 books.

I liked getting to know Naomi, Bennett and his working dog beagle named Spike. I could not imagine losing a husband, running a business, being on the run, and being shot at-all while being nine months pregnant!!

After she is wrongly accused of being a killer, Naomi finds herself on the run and being protected by Bennett and his team. I liked how well they get along and how they protected Naomi and bonded with her. Great characters, engaging story line with lots of action and suspense!

This clean Christian suspense did not have any bad language or graphic scenes. I can’t wait to read more from this series and I also hope Selena from this book gets her own story.

“The Vanished” by Cara Putman

Posted on April 17, 2024 by EmpowerMoms

The Vanished JustRead Takeover + Review Blitz

Welcome to the Takeover + Review Blitz for The Vanished by Cara Putman hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About the Book

Title: The Vanished

Series: Secrets to Keep #1

Author: Cara Putman

Publisher: Kregel Publications

Release Date: April 16, 2024

Genre: Christian Mystery & Suspense

Janae Simmons left the small town of Kedgewick, Virginia, ten years ago to pursue her legal career and never looked back–until a professional mistake leads her to her grandmother’s historic carriage house and to the town where her past threatens to find her. The quiet streets echo with her grandfather’s sterling reputation, one that conflicts with fresh questions that claw at Janae, launching her on a reluctant journey to unearth his secrets. When her new job at a local law firm doesn’t live up to expectations, she wonders if coming home was the right decision.

Carter Montgomery starts his art preservation career with the only job he can get–director at the Elliott Museum of Art. At least Kedgewick is a nice enough town to provide him and his nephew with a safe place to grieve the loss of Carter’s sister. But Carter’s calm days disappear when an elderly woman claims two paintings in the museum’s collection were stolen from her family during World War II.

Carter enlists Janae’s help to unravel the legal labyrinth of art ownership, and the peaceful facade of Kedgewick morphs into a hot bed of secrets. When an attorney turns up dead and Janae uncovers another painting, what began as a simple legal issue spirals into a race against time. As the web of intrigue tightens, the duo must confront a looming question: What dark truths lie beneath the surface, waiting to be exposed?

MY REVIEW

I really enjoyed reading this clean, Christian suspense book! It had interesting characters and a steady pace storyline they kept me engaged from chapter to chapter.

I enjoyed learning about WWII art pieces as Carter and Janae try to uncover the truth about the paintings in his museum of art.

I could relate to Janae and her frustration with her life when plans and jobs don’t seem to work out. As readers, we watch her try to re-discover herself and spend time with family as she uncovers the mysteries about the paintings.

I have read other books by this author, and I really enjoy her clean suspense and descriptive writing

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions and views expressed are my own.

“Putman’s legal expertise shines in this compelling and intricately plotted romantic suspense. Highly recommended!”

—Colleen Coble, USA Today best-selling author

“Cara Putman has once again created an exciting cast of characters. I was immediately drawn in by Janae and Carter’s unique chemistry. This is one story you don’t want to miss.”

—Rebecca Hemlock, award-winning author of Fury in the Shadows
