This is the fourth in the Cape Refuge series.
On the Tybee side of the river, Cape Refuge's newest rookie cop Scott Crown discovered a young local teen girl who was murdered. Causing a stir is a now out-of-print book by a local popular author with a very similar murder scene in it.
To make their work easier and get things done faster, Cape Refuge's police department is being outfitted with up-to-date computer equipment.

The fourth entry in Blackstock's Cape Refuge series finds a couple of murders, a new baby and a wedding occurring on the small island, all within a short span of time. Jonathan and Morgan are expecting (their infertility travails are documented in the third entry in the series); Cade and Blair are going to the chapel (theirs is the most realistic romance); and, of course, a mystery. There are a couple of notable plot turns that I didn't see coming and Blackstock explores the concept of what it m...more
This book gets two stars in the true sense of "it was okay." Not good—not bad. Mostly I'm angry, because the killer ended up being a character I liked, and I feel like I was tricked by the author. But maybe I just didn't pay enough attention. But the guy who ended up not being the bad guy still seems creepy to me! Oh well.
This can work as a stand-alone novel. I had no idea it was the fourth in a series.

It's been a long time since I have read and not been able to put the book down but that is what happened in this series. I'm not sure why I think I am not an emotional person. I still cry often and am touched when something strikes me or when my heart stirs within me. I found myself particularly moved during a scene in the book when there is a proposal. I found myself welling up with excitement that I could not contain and tearing up with joy for a fictitious character. Lord help the poor soul w...more

This is a time when I wish I could give a book multiple ratings. I gave it three stars for HOW it was written but I would give it four stars for keeping me engrossed. I listened to the first book of the series during a family trip. I found the dialogue a little off-putting just listening to it, and even though months have gone by, I can almost hear the male narrator reading the book in his variety of accents (some were actually quite good.) I guess I find the dialogue less than desirable still.

I haven't read a book that would be this bad in ages. I managed to make myself read about 180 pages of it. Then I decided to read the end, just to find out who the murderer was. If I could give this book minus stars, I would have given them! The reasons why I hated it, are (not in any particular order):
1. The language used in this book was annoyingly naive or something like that. I don't know who to blame for this: the writer or the translator, but it was something I call "lässyn-lässyn" languag...more

Good book. Now I hope the little town of Cape Refuge can stop having so many murders and return to a peaceful small town. I enjoyed the series. I thought I had the mystery solved at the end of chapter 4, but Terri Blackstock threw in a twist at the end. I don't think it was really fair because she did not really let you know very much about the real murderer until the last 4 chapters.
like the people, the drama and the stupidity by the women was a little much. All the fill before getting to the answer of the mystery spoiled my enjoyment of the wedding and the baby. I would have liked to see the mystery wrap up and then end with the final discussions of each character. That way the series would feel like it was really concluded.
Much better than the last two books in the series. It was nice to end on a good note. I still would be packing my bags instead of staying in Cape Refuge, but the story flowed well (for the most part) and there was finally closure with the romance that had been dragging on.
Wat een geweldige serie was dit,maar dit vond ik zeker het beste deel wat een spanning en gewoon tot het einde wist ik niet wie de dader(s) was.
Een serie met veel speur werk maar zeker ook met veel liefde.
Wat zal ik de mensen van Cape Refuge gaan missen.

Awesome book!!! I bought this one a few months back and decided to pick it up the other day. So glad I did. The first 100 or so pages (in large print, so probably 60 in regular print), were kind of slow for me, but after that I didn't want to put it down. Suspenseful murder mystery story of teenage girls who are abducted and the importance of leaning on God in times of turmoil, and in the simple and complex everyday situations we face. There is a powerful message woven throughout the book about...more
I would give this five-plus stars. The entire Cape Refuge series is really great. I think I am going to go back to the earliest books our library has by this author to read more of her stories. They are absolutely wonderful!!
Good fiction. Picked this book up (middle of the series) and while there is back story on some of the characters, the novel stood alone well. Great fun 'light' read with a definite Christian overtone.

This book is kind of interesting. It really grabs my attention. Some parts are shocking however. They start off the book in an intersting way and reall go into detail, but just enough detail on things. Its pretty enjoyable so far.
This book along with the others in this series is a good read. Set on the ocean with real characters a mystery develops that holds the reader spellbound for several pages.
I love this author! I didn't read the other titles in this series but "Breaker's Reef" was well written and a little scary actually.
Good story line with a surprise ending.

I only read it to finish the series. It turned out better than I thought it would be. Better than the 3rd in the series. Still a little too much like the other one's.
Good book. Part of a series. Each book is a mystery, but is also very faith oriented. If the faith is off putting, do not read theses. I found the books enjoyable.
not a very strong finish, if this is the last shes planning on this particular series. the whodunit was pretty predictible, but eve though this is the least favorite so far of all the series ive read of hers, i still enjoyed it
Another good book in this series. I hate that it's over. At one point, I thought I had the murderer figured out but I was wrong.
Wow! Awesome read, I read it in one sitting. The end will completely surprise you! Again, wow!
Terri Blackstock is one of my favorite author,her books always leave food for thought.
The ending really surprised me! Great story with heart and lots of surprises.
Terry Blackstock is easy reading, suspenseful and always a page turner.
I love this series. The books are inspirational but also they are amazing who done its.
Thought this series was pretty decent for Christian fiction.
teenager is found murdered, mystery writer comes to town
A sappy Christian murder mystery with a fairly good twist, but the love story and the crazy wedding turned closing crime scene bust was way too much and over the top for me.
Kept me on the edge of my seat! Fast paced and exciting!
