Before Audrey was the baker's wife, she was the pastor's wife.
Then a scandalous lie cost her husband a pastoral career. Now the two work side-by-side running a bakery, serving coffee, and baking fresh bread. But the hurt still pulls at Audrey.
Driving early one morning to the bakery, Audrey's car strikes something-or someone-at a fog-shrouded intersection. She finds a motor scooter belonging to a local teacher. Blood is everywhere, but there's no trace of a body.
Both the scooter and the blood belong to detective Jack Mansfield's wife, and he's certain that Audrey is behind Julie's disappearance.
But the case dead-ends and the detective spirals into madness. When he takes her family and some patrons hostage at the bakery, Audrey is left with a soul-damaged ex-con and a cynical teen to solve the mystery. And she'll never manage that unless she taps into something she would rather leave behind-her excruciating ability to feel other's pain.
My thoughts
Audrey’s life is turned around when she becomes involved in an auto accident where she may have hit a person on a scooter, yet that person cannot be found. The scooter belongs to the wife of the detective investigating the incident. He is also an elder at the church where Audrey’s husband was fired as the pastor.
This Christian fiction novel deals with suspicion, jealousy and secrets. Although, I found the writing to be smooth and easy to read, the story did not take a hold on me. Although, a mystery, it is was more descriptive then action-filled.
Disclosure: I received this book for review from the publisher through the goodreads.com program. I received no compensation for my thoughts.
