Review of advance copy received from Author

This was another well written Justice and Mercy book. Father Tom Greer, his wife, Myerton Chief of Police, Helen and fellow parishioners of St. Clare's Catholic Church, go on a camping trip to Crest Falls State Park. While hiking, Helen and some other St. Clare Church members diiscover a body in the water by the falls. Who is the dead man? How did he die? Find out by reading this terrific book , which I highly recommend to other mystery readers. I received an ARC of this book, and the opinion expressed is strictly my own.

Excellent book, like all rest by these co-authors. Really had me stumped until the end! These stories would be great for a television series. All the characters are so likeable. Keep up the great work and I look forward to enjoying many more of your books!
