But There Were Signs
What happens when good and evil collide?
Four pastors’ wives–turned amateur sleuths are playing a deadly game of cat and mouse with a suspected killer in Appalachia in Georgia Curtis Ling’s suspenseful, contemporary Christian, fast-paced thriller, But There Were Signs novel.
Ally Marshall leads the sisterhood of the Pastors’ Wives Club. They meet every third Thursday evening at the Mockingbird Coffee House in Spring Valley, Tennessee, a small town with a strong religious presence. These women share a common bond and rely on their like-minded friends in their unique challenges and joys of ministry life. The coffee house, sheltered under the high cathedral ceiling of an old church, offers the historic charm of a sacred place and becomes a haven of tranquility—until the unthinkable happens. One of their own is found dead.
The clock is ticking as these women band together, stopping for nothing as they race to solve their beloved friend’s mysterious death before time runs out and the killer gets away with murder. In their relentless search for truth, they discover a dark secret that they believe is the key to proving the “accidental death” was murder.
But suspicion does not solve the mystery. Their investigation takes them out away from their safe comfort zone and into the outskirts of a forbidden zone of a killer’s obsession, which fueled the motivation for the murder and will change their lives forever when he attempts to conceal his crime by killing again. With unimaginable and perilous days ahead, only the faith they cling to and their friendships will carry them through.
Would you risk your life seeking justice for a friend?
Think… James Patterson’s Women’s Murder Club goes to church. A completely addictive Christian suspense page turner with a twist you won’t see coming.
