About the Book:
Crossroads Crisis Center owner Benjamin Brandt was a content man – in his faith, his work, and his family. Then in a flash, everything he loved was snatched away. His wife and son were murdered, and grief-stricken Ben lost his faith. Determination to find their killers keeps him going, but after three years of dead ends and torment, his hope is dying too. Why had he survived? He’d failed to protect his family.
Now a mysterious woman appears at Crossroads seeking answers and help – a victim who eerily resembles Ben’s deceased wife, Susan. A woman robbed of her identity, her life, of everything except her faith – and Susan’s necklace.
The connections between the two women mount, exceeding coincidence, and to keep the truth hidden, someone is willing to kill. Finding out who and why turns Ben and the mystery woman’s situation from dangerous to deadly. Their only hope for survival is to work together, trust each other, and face whatever they discover head on, no matter how painful. But will that be enough to save their lives and heal their tattered hearts?

My Thoughts:
I love a good mystery, and this book did not disappoint! This was a page turner from the very beginning and kept me guessing what would happen next until the very end. I did think there were some parts of the plot that were maybe a tad unrealistic, but overall it was believable. Though not overtly spiritual, Hinze wove in discussions of faith throughout the book. The one thing I didn’t really find very probable was the relationship that developed between the widower (Ben) and the woman who looks uncannily like his first wife. It seemed like they developed feelings for each other awfully fast! Other than that, I thought it was a great book!
