He thought finding the truth would bring peace. He was wrong. Dead wrong.
For eighteen years, Sheriff Angus Reid has carried the weight of one unsolved case—the disappearance of his brother Logan. No body. No closure. Just questions that haunt every quiet moment.
Then new evidence surfaces that changes everything.
What begins as a procedural investigation becomes a dangerous descent into family secrets, small-town corruption, and a system built to quietly erase inconvenient lives.
The deeper Angus searches, the higher the cost.
Because some truths don't set you free. Some discoveries force impossible choices. And some brothers are lost in ways that finding them can never fix.
This isn’t just another investigation.
This is the one that will shake his foundation.

The first chapter of Logan’s Way was full of suspense and captured my attention. I began reading the book in the morning and completed my reading by dinner time (with a few breaks). My curiosity was piqued, and I had to know what will happen.
Logan’s Way is book 7 of Urcelia Teixeira’s book series about Angus Reid, the sheriff in Weyport, a small coastal town in New England. (I suggest you read Urcelia’s prequel, Lost Boy Lost, which lays the foundation for Angus and the town he is now protecting.) Even though Logan’s Way is book 7 in a series, you can enjoy this book without reading the earlier books in the series as they are all stand-alone books.
Urcelia uses vivid descriptions which made me see the landscapes and Scout (Angus’s dog) as well as feel the emotions Angus wrestles with.
Finally, as a fan of this series, the unsolved mystery of Angus’ missing brother, Logan, is addressed. I’ve been wondering as I read the series if Logan was dead (as the death certificate stated) or alive. This same question has plagued Angus.
In this book Angus is on leave as he’s grieving the death of his mother. During this time he becomes interested in a cold case in Nevada. The victim, who once lived in terror of her abuser, was now living in peace because someone “took care of matters”; and she would not say who her savior was. As Angus digs further into this case he finds the cracks in the legal system. The restraining order could not and did not protect the victim. (“The restraining orders are as flimsy as the paper they are printed on.”)
Angus then begins to investigate Logan’s death. Roadblocks and more roadblocks. Some power within the legal system keeps him out of the information he needs to proceed with his investigation.
A woman in his community is living in fear because of her ex-boyfriend’s stalking, which is escalating. She comes to Angus for help. Angus struggles with how the legal system has failed this woman. A quote from the book, “law that failed people first or intervention that violated the law to prevent the failure’s consequences.” The legal system moves too slowly. Predators’ tactics escalate and often the victims lose their lives. Angus struggles with being accountable to the law or doing his own thing to protect the woman.
I’ll not spoil the book for you in all that Angus struggles with and eventually discovers about himself and the truth about Logan. You will have to read this great book to get the answers.
I appreciate the cleanness of Urcelia’s books. No swearing. No sex. No graphic violence. I love that God is always part of every book. This book speaks the truth of Jesus and His grace. Her books are inspirational and have great redemptive endings. Urcelia writes a novel everyone can enjoy – from teen to grandparent.
18 years is a long time to search for someone, but that is how long Sheriff Angus Reid has been trying to find out what happened to his brother Logan. Mother passed away without any closure and during bereavement leave, Angus decides to spend his time finding answers. It appeared that Logan’s death was manufactured - what had he been involved in that required official erasure? The questions were multiplying faster than the answers.
This mystery delves deep into the Proverb - There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. A huge dilemma faced Angus as his efforts were stymied in many ways. He began to realize that finding Logan might destroy what he built. Truth might cost lives he’s saved. Was that a price worth paying? Was this Logan’s path to redemption - but what about God’s grace?
An early copy was received through Purpose Bound Press and BookFunnel. These reflections are my own and were in no way solicited.
Angus Reid is determined to find his brother, Logan who has been declared dead. There is a discrepancy in the death certificate. Angus tries to use his resources to find the truth but he gets notifications that he should stop investigating his brother's death or he will be suspended. Why would someone want to stop him and who is it? When Angus finds out about Logan and his way of meting out justice, it is a bitter pill for him to swallow. Angus has a strong belief in God and going by the book as far as justice is concerned. Even though Logan's way of justice works in a swifter way, Angus cannot accept it as it is not God's way. A spiritual thriller which gave me an insight into the right and wrong way of dealing with criminals. Love is a powerful force but sometimes we have to let go and let others follow their way. All we can do is continue to seek God's help.
I thank the author for the ARC and am happy to leave my review.
I'm really wow'd by this book - it is packed with wisdom. I loved reading about Angus Reid's superb methodical investigation process & his excellent critical thinking skills. He has always been a favorite character of mine. In this book where I think he is experiencing a dark night of the soul I was right there with him (in my mind) carefully weighing every word he thought, every action he took. At times I disagreed with what he was thinking but then a few pages later I would reconsider! His logical thought process was helpful in analyzing Logan's reasons for disappearing as related to his current actions. For me the greatest gift of this story was seeing parallels in Angus' conclusions with some of my life lessons with a subsequent feeling of deeper acceptance & hope I haven't felt before. Woven into a mystery I foud this an insightful interpretation of Proverbs 14:12.
Anyone following the Angus Reids stories will want to read this book. There is a lot to take in but it is not written in the same form as the other books. Angus spends a lot of time reflecting -- there is no murder to be solved, BUT there IS mystery, intrigue, deep soul-searching, thought-provoking ideas!! All this as Angus does his best to find out what happened to his brother, Logan. I learned a lot from the deep dive into the scripture, especially Proverbs14:12. I had thought I totally understood this verse, but Urcelia made me think deeper and longer on it, where I believe I have gained a new perspective - for that I am very grateful. Really looking forward to Book 8. Thank you Urcelia for another incredible book.
Another great read by a great author. A little different from her usual story but it certainly keeps you guessing the direction and work of Sheriff Angus. Must read.
