My Review

This holiday suspense grabbed by attention from page 1 and kept me intrigued until the very end. Lots of suspense and drama unfolds as Cassidy and Kyle piece together connections from old police cases while running from a killer. Are the cases connected? Why is someone targeting Cassidy? Does it have to do with the death of her cousin or completely unrelated?

I really enjoyed this clean suspense and I read it from cover to cover in one day. I couldn’t wait to find out what was going to happen next! Highly recommend!

About the Author

Award-winning, bestselling author Sami Abrams grew up hating to read. It wasn’t until her 30’s that she found authors that captured her attention. Now, most evenings, you can find her engrossed in a Romantic Suspense. In her opinion, a crime and a little romance is the recipe for a great story.

She lives in Northern California, but she will always be a Kansas girl at heart. She has a love of sports, family, and travel. However, a cabin at Lake Tahoe writing her next story is definitely at the top of her list.

 

 

 

More from Sami

While coming up with the idea for Kyle and Cassidy’s story, Killer Christmas Evidence, I loved the idea of a serial killer that no one knew about. Someone who killed in different places and in different ways to avoid detection. Kim Rossmo’s theory on Geographic Profiling was intriguing, and I wanted to implement that concept. But, as I started to write, I realized the idea was too big for a Love Inspired Suspense length book, so I had to adjust the story a bit to fit the situation. The basics are there, just not the details I had hoped for.

 

However, when I sat down to write and I got to know Kyle and Cassidy a little better, I realized the story wasn’t about the stealth serial killer, but about learning to let go of guilt and learning to forgive. How many times in our lives due to being hurt or the pain of loss do we assume we know the truth? Yet, if we listened—really listened—we discover not everything is what is appears to be. And the truth is not painful, but healing.

About the Author

Cathy McDavid

NY Times and USA Today bestselling author CATHY MCDAVID wrote her first book at sixteen. The self-illustrated children’s story featured a young girl whose lack of responsibility nearly resulted in the demise of her pet fish. It’s quite possible the book was an autobiography, but Cathy’s not telling. She wrote her second book, and first romance, at nineteen with the help of a portable Smith Corona typewriter. One never knows how the unrequited crush on a college professor will affect their eventual career. These days, with over 57 titles and 1.6 million books in print, she still incorporates a little of her own life in each story. A lover of all things western and former avid horsewoman, her stories include riding, ranching, and rodeo because, well, who doesn’t enjoy a good cowboy romance? Mother of grown twins and married to her own real-life sweetheart, Cathy is living her dream penning heart-stopping suspense thrillers and heart-touching family dramas for Harlequin.

“Rescuing the Stolen Child” by Connie Queen


Rescuing the Stolen Child (Love Inspired Suspense) by Connie Queen

I have read other books by this author and I really enjoy her clean suspense books with interesting characters.

I enjoyed getting to know Lieutenant Texas Ranger Zane who ends up being teamed up with his old friend Bliss. When Zane’s grandson is kidnapped, he and Bliss race to to find the kidnapper as well as investigate an old murder case. The storyline kept me guessing from beginning to end with twist and turns that kept me interested and intrigued. I especially liked that the main characters were more mature characters since I don’t see that very often.

I really enjoyed this fast paced clean suspense drama! I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions and views expressed are my own.

Zane, with help from his ex-fiancée, Bliss Walker, has days to clear a wrongly convicted inmate—or his grandson will pay the price.
