Madison just received a phone call saying she had been shot! Very confused, Madison rushes to the hospital to get answers, where she finds a stranger in ICU who looks exactly like her. While she was at the hospital, her grandfather was shot and died. His death is declared a suicide, but Madison knows that is not true, and it must be murder.
The brother of the boyfriend Madison had to shoot in the line of duty shows up with a woman, Terry, who seems familiar. He claims all is forgiven despite his family’s past declarations to get even with her.
A co-worker, Clayton, wants to get close to her, but she doesn’t trust men, plus he has demons of his own that he claims he has under control.
Madison, adopted, wants to track down her birth family, although she has lots of rage toward her biological parents for giving her up.
Madison’s adoptive mother died a few months ago. Her adoptive father was always cold and distant from Madison. Now she learns he has been having an affair for a long time. He wants to meet with Madison and introduce her to the woman.
There is a lot going on here, making the tale complex and interesting. I liked that the story was told from a Christian viewpoint, but I didn’t like that Madison devalued Clayton’s vow–and she seems to push him to break it.
Should Madison take a chance on Clayton? Is Madison’s “twin” related to her? Can Madison figure out the killer before she, or someone else, is killed? How can she live with people who have done such horrible things to her?
This story will keep you on your toes as you are glued to the pages to get those answers and more. This fast-paced, five-star book will be enjoyed by fans of thrillers, mysteries, and modern tales.
