Once again, Terri Blackstock has created an intricate mystery with several sub-plots weaving their way through the main mystery. She included several sub-plots involving themes you don't often see in Christian fiction: infertility, psychics (palm-reading), and halfway houses. This is the third book in the Cape Refuge series and I have enjoyed them all.
"This is the third in Blackstock's Cape Refuge series. She writes a decent mystery and the ending is brilliant, but her characterizations occasionally fall flat. Morgan really annoyed me in this book, because she behaves as a super-Christian with no faults at all. She's totally emotion-driven and apparently doesn't understand the basics of logic or reasoning. Not all Christians are like that. Meanwhile, her sister Blair (a better overall character) has taken over the newspaper and is writing abo...more
My library went to the effort of getting the rest of the books in this series for me, so I feel obligated to finish them, but I have to say that the series isn't living up to my expectations. First, for a town whose typical crime is parking violations, there sure have been a lot of murders. I think I'd be packing up and moving. And, what is the deal with Blair and Cade? It seemed like they were together at the end of the first book. Then, the whole second book was about them getting together (we...more
What a wonderful series this is!! The books in Terri Blackstock's "Cape Refuge" series are the first books I have read by Terri Blackstock, and they are great!! I would give them at least 7 or 8 stars. Since River's Edge is the third book in this series, there is only one more book, Breaker's Reef, to read. I plan to read it next, and then I will have to read her other books.
This book was a little tough for me to get into at first; but, once I got into it, it was a really great book! Being the 3rd book in the Cape Refuge series, there's already been a foundation laid for the story and there are quite a few references to things that happened in the first 2 books. It's definitely not a stand-alone book. If you haven't read the first 2, then don't read this one yet, because you'll miss a lot.

Another enjoyable read though the ending was a bit of a stretch not so much in being realistic but for the setting of the Refuge series.
The main murder plot though kept the reader in suspense, the sub-plot of Sadie's mom was so so and don't want to say more as to be a spoil but thought it was let's just say just to quick, better if stretched over two book.
In summary I'm enjoying the Refuge series but it seems to have lost the small southern town simplicity. Blackstock seems to be almost wishing...more

Terri Blackstock writes another murder mystery with a Christian perspective. She feels that her books are her ministry. Sometimes when I read this type of book, I find the author very preachy, but she strikes a nice balance between an interesting story and sharing her beliefs.
This story is the third book in the Cape Refuge series. This fictitious island off Georgia's coast has seen a surge of murders recently. Police Chief Cade is now on the hot seat as the mayor's race heats up. Two of the cand...more

Even though I've given Blackstock's previous two books in this series 3-stars each, there's something drawing about the characters, Morgan, Jonathan, Blair, Cade, and Sadie.
In this, book number 3, Jonathan's mayoral opponent Ben and his wife Lisa have been trying to have a baby for over a decade and have been going the medical route. Morgan and Jonathan have been trying as well but for less time. Lisa goes missing right before the mayoral debate is scheduled to take place and third candidate Sam...more

With Ben Jackson sure to win the mayoral race against Sam Sullivan and Jonathan Cleary, his wife is found murdered just days before the final debate.
Several years ago I had read and enjoyed the first two books in this series, and was delighted to get my hands on the remaining two, through a Good Reads swap. I love the characters Ms. Blackstock has created, and was happy to reacquaint myself with them in this installment, although I didn't enjoy this one as much as I did the previous two. I thin...more

Another murder mystery... this time with 2 different people and boy did she keep me guessing until the end! Love that! Couldn't put it down... Josh even commented on how much I was reading! :)
Can't wait for book 4... and SO glad that things look to be going somewhere with my favorite characters! Not so sure about the newest arrival to Hanover House though... that Sheila is a little bit shady I am thinking.

Wat is dit toch een heerlijke serie,een misdrijf die tot het eind de spanning erin houd wie het gedaan heeft.
Oever van argwaan is een goed gekozen titel omdat je iedereen gaat verdenken in het boek.
Ook de mensen in de serie sluit je in je hart,op naar deel 4.

I am really enjoying the Cape Refuge Series. This 3rd book is another unique blend of murder/mystery and Christian fiction. I look forward to completing this series with the 4th book, Breaker's Reef. Author, Terri Blackstock, is a talented writer, and I plan to add more of her books to my library.
This the third book in the cape refuge series. It is a christian based murder mystery. I found I could not put it down. I am on the last book in this series and its only been four days. Well worth reading if you like a little mystery!
I love Terri Blackstock's books. Her characters make me want to read more and follow them for a distance. There was one twist after another with very plausible outcomes. When it all fell into place, I was completely surprised.
Book 3 of the Cape Refuge series. Murder and suspense in each novel. Christian values but not over the top. The author keeps you thinking throughout most of the books.
Another good book from this author. I couldn't put it down. I read 10 chapters last night and finished it today. Very easy read. Can't wait to start the last book in this series.
I think I may have enjoyed this one the most so far of the Cape Refuge series. At times the writing drags a bit or is somewhat predictable. But she has the wonderful gift of really pulling you into a scene and it's so descriptive you feel like it is happening to you. I look forward to more of her books.
It's a good book when you stay up too late to read it, wake up thinking about it, and wonder what the characters are doing while you are away from it....
this series is a little harder to keep my concentration on than the other ones ive read of hers..seems like each book introduces new charaters, or goes too far ahead in the future that you feel like you're playing catch up.
I thought it was a good mystery... the second owe may be my favorite, but i they were all really good books!!! :)
this series is an incredible read! not only thrilling, but romance, mystery, and well-developed characters...I wasn't able to put down any of them, they are extremely captivating.
I really like Blackstock's style. THis was an interesting addition to the series and I was not disappointed.
363 pgs. The final of the 3-part series. I became fond of the characters, but not a lot of depth here.
Good continuation of the series. I love her writing. Looking forward to beginning the next book.
Wasn't quite as exciting as "Southern Storm" but still a great who-done-it!
Terry Blackstock is easy reading, suspenseful and always a page turner.
Thought this series was pretty decent for Christian fiction.
woman turns up missing, evidence pointing to husband
As always with T. Blackstock books she is hit or miss. This book was OK. A little predictable, but it kept my attention.
Plenty of bad guys. Which one killed Lisa?
