Tangled Past (Hope Island Securities #7) by Mary Alford

Tangled Past (Hope Island Securities #7)
ABOUT THE BOOK

A murdered police chief. A missing truth. A witness who can’t remember.

Twenty-five years after his father’s unsolved murder, Asa Dutton returns to Hope Island determined to uncover the truth. His only lead is Maya Callahan—the little girl found hiding in the barn the night his father died.

Maya has no memory of that stormy night. But as fragments of her past resurface, so does danger. Someone is watching. Someone who will kill to keep the truth buried.

As Asa and Maya grow closer, the stakes turn deadly. Because remembering the past may be the only way to survive it.








MY THOUGHTS.....

'The storm arrived like something from his nightmares.'

This first line in the prologue is just a teaser for what's ahead in Tangled Past! In the blink of an eye, eight-year-old Asa Dutton's life was forever shattered, and so was the life of a little girl named Maya. Who would guess that twenty-five years later, that long-ago storm would still be ravaging their lives?'

Author Mary Alford launches a take-your-breath-away roller-coaster ride in this seventh book of the Hope Island Securities series. I've enjoyed this team before, and they're now supporting Asa as he works to unravel the mystery surrounding his late father's death and also help a young woman recover the memories she lost on that fateful night. Twists, turns, and a deplorable villain make this story the ultimate example of mystery and suspense but Alford also weaves an inspiring faith message into the exciting cold-case plot. Asa and Maya's partnership evolves into a journey of love, forgiveness, and redemption!

I highly recommend Tangled Past to all who enjoy romantic Christian suspense.

I received a complimentary digital ARC from the author. There was no obligation for a positive review.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
