Occasionally, I really enjoy a good novel. And one of my favorite genres is the suspense or thriller genre. When I read fiction, it usually falls into this category.

Recently, I was able to pick up a copy of the third book in Terri Blackstock’s Cape Refuge series. Since I hadn’t read the first two books, I was hesitant to begin it, not knowing how much I had missed in the previous stories. So I did a bit of searching, and found a copy of the first two novels in the series in one volume.

After reading the first book, I was hooked. I devoured books one and two in three evenings, and then began to read River’s Edge.

This series is a pretty fun series to read, and the third installment is no different. These stories are about two sisters who live on a barrier island off the coast of Savannah, Georgia. Their tiny island is rocked by the murder of their parents in the first book.

While they struggle to make sense of their new reality, plus run a halfway house that helps people get back on their feet, the island is faced with new tragedies in the second and third books. Solving the crimes is only part of the story plot. These sisters are also searching for the hand of God in the midst of personal and community devastation.

What they find is pretty incredible.

This series is my first experience with Terri Blackstock. So far, I am impressed. While her writing style does not compare to some of my favorite authors, both Christian and non-Christian, she definitely has a talent for weaving a tale that holds the attention.

I will be looking for more opportunities to read some of her other work, for sure.
