A gripping tale from New York Times best-selling suspense author Terri Blackstock. When the kindest couple in Cape Refuge is found murdered at their church, their daughter will have to find the killer...before her own husband is convicted.

Wade and Thelma Owens run a halfway house on the small island of Cape Refuge that caters to wayward souls just out of prison. So when Wade and Thelma turn up brutally murdered, the town goes into shock, concerned that one of the Hanover House residents is a murderer who could strike again.

Shattered by her parents’ deaths, Morgan Cleary struggles to keep Hanover House running while her husband, Jonathan, has been arrested for the murder.

As the killer runs free, a lethal race against time ensues, with far more than the halfway house at stake.

I'd love to say I loved this.. but...

Any additional comments?

I usually enjoy Terri Blackstock's stories. Some are unusual, some will make you think. This story is just a very good yarn. However, the narrator was SO annoying. The attempt at a southern accent is horrible and her portrayal of the young girl was whiny. It seems she wants to portray all Christians as flat monotonic beings without any Joie de Vivre. But then, that may be how they are written as well. They just don't seem to be.. really human - with conflicts and failings, etc. The story is good. A good message. I just wish I could have given it higher marks.

Cape Refuge Audio

. Narration dreadful hard to listen to. Only the excellent story kept me listening to it

Second worst narration

I listen to a lot of audible books and this narration is almost too awful to finish the book. Absolutely horrible!

This is a very captivating book to listen to. I could not figure out who did it till later in book. Good job on that. I think everyone loving a good mystery should read/listen to this book.

Suspense until the end.

It was a good story. it kept me guessing who the murderer was until near the end.

Great book!

Suspenseful, moving and thought provoking. Characters you really felt like you knew. Eager to read the next book in the series!

Loved the story, narration not so much.

This was a good story and no quick solve on who-dun-it till late in the book. Being from the South, I really dislike fake Southern accents. At times you could not distinguish between Morgan & Sadie as both were shrill & whiny. However, there was good transition into the men’s voices. My suggestion is get a real Southerners to read Southern characters. I will listen to more of her books, though.

Not her best

I usually ike Blackstock’s books, but I listened to this one at 1.2 speed just to get through it. The main characters were not likable, the story was disjointed, and the ending was abrupt. The narration didn’t help - the female voices were whiny. I’m glad this wasn’t the first book I read from this author because it would not have encouraged me to read another one.

Love this Book!

Loved the story line and the characters! After finishing this one I got the rest of the series. The narrator did a decent job with all of the character's voices. I'm sure I'll listen to it again!

Wow!

I love the different voices and feelings in them! Glad I chose audible.
This book gave a true look into abuse children and adults go through, the good, bad and the love of God. Very nice.
That's it?! That's how it ends?! Bummer. #Sequel #Tbc
