One teacher’s missing.
Another’s found dead.

Jenny Mitchell and her fellow teachers used to enjoy hiking the trails at Deep Creek, but now they’re terrified to go back. Jenny’s best friend since childhood vanished without a trace, and Jenny’s life changed forever. Not even her faith comforts her now.

Ranger Flint Stockman’s niece, Cassie, is in Jenny Mitchell’s first grade class. Not only does Flint find himself in the middle of a murder investigation, but he soon finds himself falling for Cassie’s teacher. That wasn’t in his plans, but neither are the bodies the rangers discover as the investigation continues. With one teacher missing and one dead, could Jenny be next?

I’m on a mystery/suspense kick right now, so I picked up this book by J. Carol Nemeth. It’s my first book by her.

It was an interesting book. I was hooked from the beginning and couldn’t wait to find out who did it. Personally, I could have done with less of the violence description (one scene would have been enough) and — I know this sounds funny — but it dragged for me in a few places. I wanted to see Jenny and Flint do a little more (outside of the mystery).

Overall, though, it was a fun mystery (as much as murder can be fun). If you’re looking for a mystery with a strong Christian thread, I recommend this book.

Rated PG for violence.
