Ramblings-n-Writings

Today the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance presents Brandilyn Collins’ Dark Pursuit (Zondervan, December 1, 2008).

I absolutely loved this book. This is the first time I’ve read one of Brandilyn’s books, but this definitely won’t be the last.

If you enjoy suspense or even mysteries, I’m sure you will enjoy Dark Pursuit.

The plot covers approximately 24 hours in the life of Kaitlin Sering, the 22-year-old granddaughter of novelist Darrell Brooke. When Kaitlin discovers a dead body in her apartment, she runs to the one person she believes can help her – her grandfather.

Both Kaitlin and Darrell fear what might happen next especially since they believe the evidence points to Kaitlin’s boyfriend, Craig, as the murderer. The problem? Craig is the local police chief’s son and a police officer.

Darrell is known as the King of Suspense; however, an accident years before left him unable to concentrate for long periods. Can he figure out how to trap Craig and keep his wits about him long enough to help Kaitlin?

To say that this book will have you sitting on the edge of your seat is an understatement. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to find out what was happening next.

(For those of you who enjoy books by author Dee Henderson, Dark Pursuit reminded me of the O’Malley series but without the romance storyline.)
