Summary
Overall This is the fourth book in Colleen Coble's Lonestar series. Ms. Coble writes a mean suspense novel! I loved that she had several possibilities for the perpetrator of the crime because it made the read less predictable. As with her other three novels in the series, there are significant similarities: all the stories, including this one, revolve around a little girl, aged five or so; the romantic element of the novel starts as a convenience more than an attractionalthough this novel is a little different (thankfully!); the setting is in the Big Bend area of Texasall the couples of the previous novels show up in this one, though in smaller roles; and each novel
has some tie to either Mexican or Colombian drug cartels. Even though there is so much similarity, I was not bored with the read. Ms. Coble writes with a solid biblical worldview, and she doesn't avoid difficult subjects. She made her characters easy to relate to. I loved those characters she undoubtedly meant for her readers to love, and I was suspicious of or disliked those meant to be suspects. If you like a romantic, Christian, mystery, then this is a book for you!
Drug & Alcohol Even though drug lords are involved in the novel, there is no description of drug use.
