Deb Richardson-Moore is a former journalist and former pastor of a church whose parishioners included homeless people. Those experiences combined in her first four books -- a 2012 memoir about her early years at the Triune Mercy Center, and the three-book Branigan Powers mystery series featuring a news reporter and a homeless man.

She has now turned to darker domestic thrillers with the release of "Murder, Forgotten" in 2020.

Deb lives in Greenville, SC, with her husband. They are the parents of three adult children.

I'm torn about this book because the premise is great, and it's well written. But it manages to move very slowly, nonetheless. I actually gave up on it a quarter of the way in, then read the reviews and gave it another try. I loved her subsequent "Le ...more

This book is good until the final fifth or so when it devolves into a rather tedious explanation of what has gone before.

When I told my husband the twists in this book shocked me, he was incredulous. "But you read all kinds of twisty thrillers," he said. True, but this one stands out, not only for what happens but for how the characters are not who you think they are. ...more

When a book veers into the paranormal for an explanation of plot questions, it loses me. I found this one both preposterous and tedious.

“That was the thing about being homeless. We know how other people live because we’ve lived it. But they haven’t lived like us. So really, when you thought about it, the homeless had a much wider world view. They knew more. They’d seen more. So where did the others get off being so disrespectful? Being so dismissive? Being so downright superior?”
Deb Richardson-Moore, The Cantaloupe Thief
