Romantic Suspense to Keep Readers Guessing Until the Last Page
Sophie Wittenbauer left her strict Mennonite hometown under a cloud of shame and regret. After a rough childhood, her teenage poor choices harmed others, leaving her with no choice but to change her life. Her entry-level writing job at a newspaper puts her in the right place at the right time to overhear office gossip about a prisoner who has information on a decades-old unsolved crime. While the other reporters write off the tip as the ravings of an angry criminal, Sophie can't ignore it because she knows the name of this prisoner from her old life.
Upon learning from the man that one of the other suspects is hiding out in the Missouri town of Sanctuary, she takes on a false identity to investigate and meets the young pastor of a local church--the very man she'd loved as a troubled teenager. As she gets closer to finding the suspect, will the truth of her own past come out before she discovers the identity of the criminal--or the very person she's seeking puts a fatal stop to her investigation?

Nancy Mehl is the author of twenty-one books, including the Road to Kingdom and Finding Sanctuary series. Nancy writes from her home in Missouri, where she lives with her husband, Norman, and their puggle, Watson. Visit www.nancymehl.com to learn more.
Mehl did an awesome job writing Darkness Rising. The characters were ones that everyone can relate to. They each are characters that are easy to fall in love with. My favorite character in the book was Jonathon. He is the strong male lead that every book needs.
I loved the mystery that is a given. The main character has a struggle with trusting God and you will love the outcome. You can literally feel God on the pages as you read how Emily is trying to solve the crime and write her story.
I give this book 5 stars. I was given this book by the publisher for my honest review.
I must admit I am more of a romance reader but this sounds really good. I am buyin this one.
