Sleuth Finds More Than Expected

First time I have read a book by Nancy Mehl. Rising Darkness did not disappoint. I was captured by the main character's dialog and her desire to amount to something after having a terrible childhood. Sophie's goal is to become an investigative reporter so she begins by trying to solve an unsolved crime by following a lead that takes her to Sanctuary, Missouri. She takes an alias and creates a story as to why she is visiting so as not to arouse suspicion. Unexpectedly, she meets someone there from her past who eventually recognizes her. Not only that, this person offers to help her solve the mystery when Sophie begins getting threatening notes. Will she be able to solve the crime and further her career before she is hurt or someone else is hurt? And will she come to terms with God? A must read if I do say so. I received this book free from Bethany House Publishing to review and give an honest opinion.
