(986) Breaker's Reef by Terri Blackstock

This is the fourth and last book of the Cape Refuge series.

By far, this seems to be the most interesting of the four to me. There is the build up of suspense from one dead teenage girl to a second disappearance. Then Sadie could not be traced. What really appealed to me is the seeming to be co-incidence that both girls who could not be found were daughters of Sheila, a client of Hanover House.

What I found to be unreal is how the author seemed to portray that because of Morgan's obsession of babies which led to her accepting a pregnant woman without checking her background and making sure she would adhere to Hanover House Christian Rules. Similarly, Morgan seemed to accept Sheila just to keep Sadie's baby brother under her roof. I don't think that is sound principles in running a risky ministry as a half-way house.  

Anyway, there is much merits in this series of Christian murder and mystery novels. Perhaps they were targeted at the very young readers who have to have issues being overly simplified. I am probably over age and tend to look at books with a cynical view.
