Review on my blog (to be posted 2/21): http://christianbookshelfreviews.blog...

Too Close to Home was another great suspense read! Having read two of Lynette Eason's newer books (When the Smoke Clears and When a Heart Stops), I was excited to finally read one of her older novels.

I don't know how I missed noticing that more people had shelved this as Christian Fiction than anything else. If I had, I'd known it wouldn't be my cup of tea, and wouldn't have started it.

The romance in the story happened too quickly, especially with everything that was happening. The ending ended too neatly. Overall, it was an easy read, but I wouldn't recommend it.

2.5 stars ...more

Great suspense story of a widowed law-enforcement father of a 16-year-old daughter who is investigating the disappearance of teenaged girls and a black market baby ring. Lots of soul searching on part of father and daughter as they try to find their way back from critical estrangement. Probably a good book for a teen to read in order to show how online predators work and the importance of family.
