“The Price of Jade” by Liz Hastings
I really enjoyed this story!! At times I felt confused with all the characters involved throughout the story, but overall I enjoyed it and kept up with everything.
I knew after reading the book description that I HAD to read this book! I was hoping for a good ending, although its not usually a good outcome when kids get kidnapped on foreign soil. The author did a wonderful job of describing the area, historical facts and landmarks in Guatemala, and keeping a good suspenseful pace.
Clean, christian story that is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat as you follow along with Cathy and Matt as they look for their missing daughter.
There are religious references to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS or Mormon) religion, but it is not the focus of the book. (For example, they take a “Book of Mormon” tour while in Guatemala.)
I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
About the Book:
With its lush rainforests and awe-inspiring ruins, Guatemala has always played a central role in Matt Miller’s life. The stunning land where he once served as a missionary is now a vital part of his importing business, and after years of anticipating a trip to the exotic country with his wife, Cathy, and teenage daughter, Melissa, it’s finally happening. But what begins as a dream vacation soon spirals out of control as the Millers face every parent’s worst nightmare: their daughter has disappeared without a trace.
Every second counts as Matt and Cathy throw themselves into the most urgent search of their lives—a search that becomes frantic when a ransom note arrives. As Matt traverses dense jungle and remote villages, relying on the help of an unlikely band of Good Samaritans, it is clear that Melissa’s kidnapping was far from random. There is a network of greed and deceit that runs deep, and no one can be trusted. Desperate to protect his family, each step leads Matt closer to a ruthless killer. And what he discovers points to a greater deception than he could have imagined . . .
