Book Review - Shadows on the Sand

Shadows on the Sand: A Seaside Mystery

Shadows on the Sand A Seaside Mystery by Gayle Roper

This was a very enjoyable read. A fun book to curl up with - not heavy and intense like some of the other books that I have in my pile of to reads. Sometimes it is nice to just read a good story - this one  had good Christian values. It is a romance story and a story about healing (emotionally) and forgiveness as part of that healing process. Both of the main characters are broken - Carrie's past is painful. Her mother was an alcoholic that never protected her from the boyfriends that stayed over. Greg is trying to forgive himself for allowing his wife to move his car. A vicious killer caused the car to blow up thereby killing his wife and children. It is now three years later and Greg is trying to move on with his life. 

The story is also a bit of a mystery - Carrie's dishwasher is killed and then her waitress disappears. The characters try to discover what is going on and why the waitress is gone. How is that connected to the death? 

A very enjoyable read and the mystery thrown in there kept the suspense.
