If I Live By Terri Blackstock

This product was recommended by Melanie Musson from BroadFormInsurance

This thrilling mystery has all the elements necessary to pull the reader in and make it nearly impossible to put down. An innocent fugitive on the run falls in love with an honest detective from a corrupt police department. And in the midst of the action, God is with them and there is always hope because of that fact.


The Shack by Wm. Paul Young

This product was recommended by Simon Nowak from Authority Dental

The main character loses his youngest daughter. After years, he receives a short letter, which looks like written by God. This event will change his life. The book is about the greatness of God, about forgiving and trying to control our lives. “The Shack” is one of the best books I have ever read. I can truly recommend it to anyone.


The Witness by Dee Henderson

This product was recommended by Travis Scoundrel from Nerds and Scoundrels

A classic Christian mystery from writer Dee Henderson, The Witness manages to build a compelling thriller while not losing sight of the protagonists’ devotion to God. The book weaves an exciting story surrounding a witness to a crime and her sisters seeking protection from local lawmen from the criminal that wants to silence the protagonist for good. The suspense turns up a notch when each of the officers falls for different sisters. This one will keep you guessing until the very end.


Unknown Enemy by Janet Sketchley

This product was recommended by Bonnie Way from The Koala Mom

Set in Nova Scotia, this story is about a young woman helping a friend find out who has been pranking and vandalizing her inn. Janet writes a spell-binding mystery with great descriptions and likeable characters.


Miss Fortune by Sara Mills

This product was recommended by Bonnie Way from The Koala Mom

In post-World War 2 New York, Allie Fortune is a PI with a personal agenda: find David Rubeneski. As her story progresses, flashbacks fill in the details of her relationship with David and the reason she’s desperate to find him. I picked up this book for its cover and read it aloud to my husband, nearly going hoarse when the story got interesting and we couldn’t stop reading.
