I read the Steeple Hill Love Inspired series often, and naturally, I like their suspense line of stories. They release four a month. These books are good for a fast, interesting read. I just finished reading one of the books for May 2008. Cara Putnam kindly sent me her book to read and review.
Deadly Exposure (Steeple Hill Love Inspired Suspense #102) starts with a murder at a theater. News reporter Dani Richards happened to be at the theater that night with her aunt. While trying to deal with her distress at finding a college student she knows dead, Dani also finds herself being questioned by her ex-boyfriend and police officer Caleb Jamison. He broke her heart years ago and hadn’t heard from him in ten years. Dani does some investigating of her own against the wishes of Caleb, who is trying his best to protect her from threatening phone calls and damage to her car and home.
Both of the main characters are easy to like. Caleb’s persistence in trying to solve the case and protect Dani shows his true devotion to Dani even though he treated her poorly in the past. Dani struggles with her past and searches for God while she also tries to solve the case. I appreciate the way that Cara Putnam resolves the problems of this frustrated couple.
