Bezeten belager

Hideaway #4

by Hannah Alexander, Carla de Laat (Translator)

Zangeres Grace Brennan krijgt na een optreden met haar band Star Notes een beangstigend cadeau: een muziekdoosje met een lied waaraan ze nare herinneringen heeft. Het bijgevoegde kaartje maakt Grace duidelijk dat iemand een oude leugen van haar niet vergeten is en op wraak zint. Vanaf dat moment blijven er mysterieuze pakketjes voor Grace binnenkomen. Op een dag wordt tot ieders ontzetting het levenloze lichaam van de manager van Star Notes gevonden. Uit onderzoek blijkt dat er waarschijnlijk sprake is van moord. Grace begint zich grote zorgen te maken. Houden de dreigcadeaus en de moord verband met elkaar? En als dat het geval is, hoever wil haar belager gaan om zijn doel te bereiken?

READY FOR THE NEW YEAR?

At this time of year, we have just finished reflecting on Christmas, when God gave us the greatest Gift ever possible. Now our thoughts are to the new year, with its upcoming rewards and challenges. Many of us will once again come up with New Year’s resolutions. This year I’m going to stick to my diet. This year I’m going to get into shape. This year I’m going to break that 5-minute mile. Okay, okay; it’s been a LONG time since I had that New Year’s resolution. And many will once again fail to live up to those resolutions, with their often unrealistic expectations. But enough about that.

Cheryl has chosen her word for the new year. It is solace. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, solace means:

1. comfort in grief: alleviation of grief or anxiety

2. a source of relief or consolation

Rather than discouraging anyone, our prayer for you is that God will grant you solace as you face the new year's rewards and challenges.

Happy reading and God bless you.

Prepare for a suspenseful story, that compels you to continue as long as possible to find out what is going to happen. You will meet some of the same people fromt he beginning of the series, plus additional characters that will dominate this story.

Nice to find a Christian based series, reflecting their struggles and growth.

A clean, stand alone, with an HEA.

2.5 it was an ok story, not a lot of suspense, but story dragged.

[Melanie · Rating 2 out of 5]

A little boring. I liked the story, but the romance happened too quickly and I didn't really care for the characters. Overall, an okay read.

[Kathy Kilgore · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fun who-done-it!

Hannah Alexander has provided a suspense novel with a wide range of characters and multiple lines of mystery. Who is the killer? who is the snitch? is the star really ill ? Who is in love and who just needs to get ahead in the business at any cost?
This book is good for the I love suspense but not nail biting thrillers readers. The characters have some depth and you will love getting to know them, even those you hate!

I hated to see this book end and hope to see a sequel in the future.

Not-so-secret admirer

If you want a good suspense, read one of this author’s books! It will keep your attention from the first minute! This one gives a powerful message about how God forgives us and helps us to forgive others. Very well done, as always!

[Barbara · Rating 5 out of 5]

This a quick book to read, but with a little depth as well regarding forgiveness, revenge, and truthfulnesses. Grace was a very enjoyable character, and I enjoyed seeing her grow and change. Several storylines included tension, murder, or danger, which kept it interesting.

An unusual gift arrived at the theater in Branson where Grace Brennan and Michael Gold are performing. The music box contains a sinister note. She tries to brush it off as a simple prank, but when more odd gifts show up and the director of the show winds up dead, she begins to wonder if she is going a little crazy.

So many things are happening around Grace that she begins to doubt what God's plan is for her, where He wants her to be.

This was a great read. I like the way the mystery unfolds and the characters are developed. I believe this is part of a series, but not quite sure where it fits. If it is part of a series it works great as a stand alone story.

I think I am going to check out some of the other novels by this author.

[Kathy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Note of Peril was a book that you could see happening in real life. Hideaway is a small town not to far from Branson and the hometown of two very confused singers, songwriter and want to be doctor. Murder, poisoning, jealousy, forgiveness, and the love of Jesus are all packed on the pages. Read, you will enjoy.
