Redeemer
Holy Redeemer was a place of glory. Until it was a place of terror.
Father Robert Pauliuk would always remember the Redeemer fire. His former parish, Holy Redeemer had been his first assignment. It was where he grew into his canonical competencies and where he met his wife, Donna. It was also the very building that killed her and his curate, Stu Kline.
When small-town editor Phil Beecher survives the deadly COVID-19 pandemic twenty-two years later, he is compelled to solve the mystery behind the Redeemer fire. He enlists newly unemployed Vanessa Penner for a fresh take on the case and gets much more than he expected.
Death.

Decent
There are many typos and errors in this book.
That being said, it's a decent mystery/thriller.
From it's gripping prologue to the satisfying conclusion.
In the wake of the pandemic, Vanessa Penner is laid off from her job in Toronto. She heads to her family home in the small town of Garrett.
Needing work, she ends up accepting a position at the Garrett Gazette working for Phil Beecher.
He wants her to be a fresh pair of eyes looking into the Redeemer fire of 22 years earlier.
The church had burnt to the ground under suspicious circumstances and two people lost their.
Soon Vanessa is plunged into a world of dark secrets.
The more she digs, the greater the danger.
Will she solve the mystery of the Holy Redeemer fire?
Read on and discover for yourself.
One question: Who the heck is the baby mentioned in the prologue?!
This was an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A MUST read!
From the moment I read the first few paragraphs of this book, I was hooked! The details described in the scene, setting and characters made me feel like I was right beside Vanessa, following her around as she puts the pieces together of what transpired the fire to start in the first place. I didn’t want to stop reading because I needed to know: was it arson, or murder - and were my theories of what I believed took place, actually the reality?
I was extremely tense reading the prologue because it felt like I was right there when this tragic event took place, yet I couldn’t stop reading until I got to the end of it!

S.L. Luck's detail for subtlety is genius. As another reviewer has mentioned: you feel like you are with Vanessa in every scene. The gentle touch, the nod, or the sideways glance are a few of the skillful techniques she uses to keep us wondering.
Luck crafts a compelling mystery that leaves you guessing until the end. As one of Canada's up and coming authors I believe you will be hearing more about Luck as she continues to garner international attention.

Thank you to author S. L. Luck for this FREE Kindle copy of the upcoming book Redeemer. And thanks to Goodreads for hosting the opportunity.
I really liked it. This is a winner in my mind. Pushed to an early release, there is unfortunately some cleaning up to do, which is sad to see, but otherwise had all the elements required for a great read. Nice cover too.

Won this in a Goodreads giveaway. Too much profanity and many unlikable characters not to mention some printing errors. I don't recommend.
