UNWORTHY

by Jeanine Collins Malarsky

In a small town northwest of Boston, Pastor Keller’s three grown children are caught in a web of secrets and murder. With time to uncover the truth running out, egos collide and love struggles to survive as Detective D’nardo delves into their sad and twisted lives. While one sister sacrifices herself to save the other, their brother tries to protect the family he once believed was ideal. Part of the truth lies hidden in a family Bible. But who has the key? Part of the truth comes softly in a child’s song. Who will sing it?

[Corinne · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this story. It was an easy book for me to submerge into with believably complex characters whose lives were so different than my own. Nicely written.
