Henry G. Brinton
When Methodist minister Harley Camden loses his wife and daughter in a European terrorist attack, he spirals downward into grief and anger. The bishop forces him to move to a tiny church in small-town Occoquan, Virginia, to heal and recover. But all hope for serenity is quickly shattered by the mysterious murder of the daughter of the local Iraqi baker, followed by the threat of an attack by Islamic extremists. Harley tries to build bridges to his neighbors, including Muslims and Coptic Christians, and digs into the history of the ancient Galilean city of Sepphoris to find the secret to survival in a fractured and violent world. Past and present come together in surprising ways as Harley sets out to stop the violence and save his new flock.
City of Peace is a gripping and fast-paced mystery that will engage people politically and spiritually, leaving them with fresh insight into how they can overcome polarizing divisions among people of differing cultures and faiths.

As I was listening, I put Henry himself into Harley's role and it seemed to work well... I thought he did a really good job of character development and with handling spiritual, cultural and racial issues throughout the book. I wasn't really familiar with the setting of the book, so I enjoyed all the history of that area that was added... gave it a good sense of place. A small town with a history of mixed races and cultures... and overcoming the hate and mistrust. The story was good and kept me guessing...The narrator was almost robotic sounding and took awhile to get used to... it took away from the book a little bit, but all in all.... It's a good listen! I recommend this book!
I enjoyed this book!

For the first several chapters I wanted to throw things at Harley. He was not easy to like or even tolerate but fortunately his character does progress. Many characters do seem like archetypes whose main purpose is to highlight points of view. Nonetheless, the plot and its twists were enjoyable as were the history lessons on Occoquan, Virginia.
Disclaimer: I received a free copy of the audio book with the understanding that I would write a review.
Part edification on religious tolerance, part ode to Occoquan, VA, wrapped in a crime story.
