Great storyline! This book is perfect size for an afternoon read. There’s action, criminal activity and some romance. Being a Christian novel, I did write down some scripture verses to look up. Child trafficking is a harsh topic filled with tears and anger that it could happen in your city. The story is a five-star but with some edit problems, I could only give it four. Sorry, maybe some updates will be added to Kindle books.

The book deserves a much higher rating for the cover alone! But the story doesn't include the development of the hero to match the cover. The story itself is good but the editing is very poor. Many misspelled words and the story line gets repeated at one point that doesn't make sense. A good mystery with great witnessing and prayers.

Badly needs an editor
Many grammar/spelling mistakes plus even a bad problem at one point with plot sequencing. Also a certain lack of credibility when the detective supposedly hit a wall. This must have been rushed to print and or reliant on spell check instead of an actual editor.

It’s a God thing.
Having a plan for Life is a great thing,unless you are kidnapped and no longer have control.Finding a lost daughter was part of the job,but finding one lost led to having a Family. A Family that trusted in God.
