Publisher's summary

This rape case is different from most: the victim is more than willing to testify and there's ample evidence to put the suspect behind bars. But one thing gnaws at Detective Larry Millsaps - young and beautiful Melissa Nelson knows too much about the evidence needed to convict her attacker. Millsaps's investigation unearths the suspect's brutal track record, but also some stunning revelations about Melissa's own past. Caught in a deadly conflict between the ironies of the law and the demands of his Christian convictions, the detective finds himself protecting Melissa - even as evidence mounts that could imprison not only an inhuman criminal, but also the woman Millsaps has come to love.

Seems like a shortened version of a book

The first book was 10 hrs + narrated. This one is less than 3. The story seems fast and with less details than Terri normally writes. I almost wonder if this is a shortened version of the book than a full book.

Good but short

This was a good book, but WAY too short for an audible credit. It was 1/5th the length of the first book in the series.

Short story for price

Story was short for a 14.00 credit. It was good. I didn’t like the music that comes on during the reading of the book

Way to short

Not Terri Blackstock’s usual several chapter book. It just needed more substance. Was very disappointed in this book. Have always loved all the other books by her.

Not as good as Terri Blackstock normally

This book was so short you didn’t really get to know the characters. Not a good reflection of how Terri Blackstock normally writes.

So much potential!

I wish Terri would've set on this book and let it build. It was such a good story! I could think of many twists and turns that could've been made. It was a bit of a bummer but as always, a good ending. I got comfortable with multiple narrators pretty quickly so that wasn't an issue for me at all. Don't let the narration on the sample scare you off, it doesn't sound like that during the book itself. In all, it was a good story, and it was worth it.

I hate abridged books

Sorry Audible, too much is missing from this book. I felt lost and couldn’t find my way out! This is why I dislike abridged books. So this book is being returned.

Love Terri Blackstock books!!

Couldn’t put the book down. Always a great story and love the fact I can read these books & not have to deal with bad language nor immortal sexual descriptions/acts. I’m also thankful for the Christian thoughts always included in Terri’s books.
