From New York Times bestselling author Terri Blackstock comes the first gripping novel in her If I Run series featuring a strong female protagonist wrongly framed for murder and the troubled investigator who's trying to find her.

Casey Cox knows the truth. But it won't set her free. Her DNA is all over the crime scene. There's no use talking to police; they've failed her abysmally before. She has to flee before she's arrested...or worse. The truth doesn't matter anymore.

But what is the truth? That's the question haunting Dylan Roberts, the war-weary veteran hired to find Casey. PTSD has marked him damaged goods, but bringing Casey back can redeem him. Though the crime scene seems to tell the whole story, details of the murder aren't adding up.

Casey Cox doesn't fit the profile of a killer. But are Dylan's skewed perceptions keeping him from being objective? If she isn't guilty, why did she run?

Unraveling her past and the evidence that condemns her will take more time than he has, but as Dylan's damaged soul intersects with hers, he is faced with two choices: the girl who occupies his every thought is a psychopathic killer...or a selfless hero. And the truth could be the deadliest weapon yet.

In the If I Run series, Terri Blackstock delivers edge-of-your-seat tension to keep you listening, relatable characters, dual perspectives, an intriguing plot with unexpected twists, and themes of faith and redemption. Run—don't walk—to start listening to this captivating story today.

Story line grips you from the first paragraph

Terri Blackstock has become my favorite author. Her use of vivid words and delving into the characters, make the fictional work seem real. She writes with Character and Conviction. Do yourself a favor and collect her works.

Enjoyable

A bit simplistic. Some character traits could have been better developed. Such as Casey's propensity for forensic analysis. Also many details were too conveniently wrapped up. Overall this is a nice novice crime novel, best suite for advanced middle school or lower high school readers.

If I Run (1st book in the series)

It’s been a few years since I’ve read a Terri Blackstock story and I was eager to get started in this series hoping it would as good as her other stories. I was not disappointed.

The story begins with the main character on the run and the whole world against her. The story ends with that same main character still on the run, but with allies that are willing to stand with her. Her own actions run counter to the fugitive her enemies have painted her and there is hope that things just might work out in the end.

Good mystery

Kept my interest with the twists and turns. Refreshing to have a clean story without swearing or sex. The only thing that through me s little was that the narrator didn't change her voice for characters so I had to pay close attention to the chapter titles that named the character speaking.

Love it

Great up to the end . Nice to read/listen to a CLEAN book! It's a incredible story

Attention getting but no wrap up

Loved the story, characters, suspense, detail but disappointed it did not wrap up. Not sure if this is one of two but didn't see that in the story summary when I bought it.
Narrator good and easy to listen to.

Such a good cliff hanger!

I loved the suspense and that it’s a Christian fiction book. However I wish the part of Dylan would have been read by a male. It was confusing in the beginning. But overall a good book

Great Story Line

Love this murder mystery. It’s clean while being a delight to listen too. Great read for any Christian looking for clean reading material.

Will not disappoint

I enjoyed listening to this book as I sat and listened to the rain. I am looking forward to the continuing story in the next book.

Awesome

I truly enjoyed this book. I almost didn’t purchase because one review said it was read in same voice. I found that to be better; which I would not, gave me the feel of reading myself. I kept thinking how is this a series he is finding her to quickly but I was surprised. I love the way she is being introduced to Jesus Christ. Not like he’s a genie but a God of character that does give without changing. 👏🏽👏🏽
