Deadly Christmas Cipher

Texas Security #3

by Stacy Angell Curtis

Jack and Bryn’s December wedding is fast approaching.

But a blackmailer’s plans threaten to derail the Christmas-themed ceremony before it starts.

Two days before the wedding, the caterer attracts a sniper, and Jack needs to know if the woman baking their wedding cake is an innocent victim or complicit in her brother’s shady business dealings.

The happy couple would love to focus on each other, but they can’t ignore the growing danger when an ominous warning from Bryn’s incarcerated grandfather is followed by a shooting at the caterer’s shop.

Then a chilling call from Jack is cut short. And Bryn fears the worst.

This third installment of the Texas Security series surpassed all of my expectations! Ms. Annalee deserves a major raise, not only is she a master chef but she can plan weddings as well?! The topic of money laundering was so realistically written that it had me wanting to check Candys gift bag as well (IYKYK) lol. My favorite quote from this wonderful novel is: “God took the mangled, painful pieces thrown into her life by this broken world and fit them seamlessly together into something impossibly wonderful.” I absolutely loved this faith filled, action packed suspense and will be recommending it to everyone I know.

worth the wait!

After reading the first two books in this series, I have been looking forward to book 3. And Stacy Curtis did not disappoint. Again, loved the characters, their commitment to each other, and their faith. Looking forward to some more of this author’s books.

I read the other two books in this series this past year, and discovered this one right at year's end, so it made the first book I have read in 2025. Great suspenseful read that I thoroughly enjoyed.
