I am a huge fan of J.R. and Susan Mathis's Justice and Mercy series and find each installment is better than the last. In the latest book, Father Tom and Helen, along with the Myerton Police Department, investigate a vehicle accident involving Reverend Robert (Bob) Franklin, the minister at Myerton's First Baptist Church. At first, it appears to be an unfortunate accident, but, as more details emerge, it's hard to deny it may be something more sinister. But why would anyone want to injure or kill Rev. Franklin? You'll have to read this suspenseful novel to find out!
Fans of the series will also connect with other members of the cast of characters that the Mathis team has created. Read on to follow the saga of Veronica as well as the mayoral election. I highly recommend this book to mystery fans.
I received an ARC of this book, and the opinion expressed is strictly my own.
