After The Fire

by Clare Revell

Private investigator, Freddie Flynn, wants nothing to do with the man who left her fifteen years ago-or the God he abandoned her for-especially if reports of corruption within high ranking levels of the P.I. firm are true. She might have to accept him as the company V.P., but she doesn't have to trust him. Jason Bryant knows his leaving to enter the ministry cut Freddie deep, but now he's returned to Headley Cross and wants to make amends. But Freddie's different-jaded, distant, distrustful-so what's he to think when a file claims Freddie is the traitor who's sabotaging the company? Thrown together on a case that could cost them everything, including their lives, Freddie and Jason must look beyond suspicion and innuendo to catch the real traitor before it's too late...and maybe, just maybe, they'll find the love they once shared by listening to the still small voice that comes after the fire.

About the author

Clare is a British Christian author. She lives in a small town just outside Reading, England with her husband, whom she married in 1992, their two of their three grown up children, unfriendly mini-panther, aka Tilly the cat and new addition Ty the dog.
Clare is half English and half Welsh, which makes watching rugby interesting at times as it doesn’t matter who wins.
Writing from an early childhood and encouraged by her teachers, she graduated from rewriting fairy stories through fan fiction to using her own original characters and enjoys writing an eclectic mix of romance, crime fiction and children's stories. When she's not writing, she can be found reading, crocheting or doing the many piles of laundry the occupants of her house manage to make.
Her books are based in the UK, with a couple of exceptions, thus, although the spelling may be American in some of them, the books contain British language and terminology and the more recent ones are written in UK English.
The first draft of every novel is hand written.
She has been a Christian for more than half her life. She goes to Carey Baptist where she is one of four registrars.

[Penelope Marzec · Rating 5 out of 5]

Freddie Flynn is a private investigator who prefers to work alone and she’s one of the best. Then Jason Bryant becomes her new boss. She loved him fifteen years ago, but he left her. Now she is assigned to work with him on a case and she suspects he may be involved in corruption within the company. They go off to Cornwall to work undercover and begin to rediscover the warmth they always had for each other. But then their cover is blown and danger follows. Jason relies on his faith as they are put to the test, but Freddie lost her faith when Jason left her those many years ago.

This romantic suspense was packed with action. I enjoyed every minute.

This book has a mystery to solve, and I like mysteries. But it also takes place in a very appealing vacation spot, and I love vacations, too. Mix these in with a couple of private investigators that are not typical, and you get a story that keeps you turning pages. It also keeps you thinking of that lovely little place, in Cornwall, when you are doing other things.

Freddie (Frederica) and Jason have known each other before, and neither of them like their assignment. However, the most enjoyable part of this book is the relationship between the two, as one thing leads to another, and they find themselves in ever increasing danger. All of which would make good reading just by itself. But the thing I liked best about AFTER THE FIRE, was the very thought-provoking theme that effected me even after the story was ended. It had take away value.

Not only did it linger long after the satisfying ending, I caught myself listening for that "still, small voice," myself, and looking at life's disasters in a very different way. I find Ms. Revell's spiritual perspectives extremely refreshing. And I like the way her characters always seem like someone familiar to me, very early on. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes romantic suspense… and anyone else, as well.
