About this listen
Meanwhile, Brill's 20-year-old daughter Vanessa comes home from college for the summer and reveals a shocking secret that turns her family's life upside down. Brill and her husband Kurt struggle to deal with the shattered hopes and dreams they had for their daughter, and things get worse when Vanessa's psychology professor disappears without a trace, and Brill finds out he's deceived Vanessa and she could be in danger.
An FBI friend uses his vacation time to watch Brill's back, but the ex-con determined to kill her has been unstoppable each time he has gone after a target. Brill must face her own mortality and trust that God's plan for her life will unfold exactly as He has ordained.
Based on Romans 1:16. "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes."

Story
The crime scenes are horrifying: the victims arranged with deliberate care, posed to appear alive despite their agonized last moments and the shocking nature of their deaths. No Place To Hide – Chattanooga grief counselor Audrey Sherrod moonlights for the local police. It-s clear to her, and to Special Agent J.D. Cass, that the murders are the work of a deranged serial killer. At first, the only link is the victims- similar physical appearance. But then another connection emerges, tying them to a long-ago series of horrifying crimes Audrey hoped would never resurface-crimes that hit all too close to home

Secrets can be funny things. We think they keep us safe, but more often than not, they spill out when we least expect and make a mess out of everything. It's a truth Scarlett Jo Newberry knows all too well-a truth Grace Shepherd and Zach Craig are about to learn the hard way. As the lives of this boisterous pastor's wife, polished news anchor, and beleaguered divorce attorney intersect in the tree-lined streets of Franklin, Tennessee, scandal threatens to topple their carefully constructed worlds.

Should have been a novella
Pros - The characters developed in the first book, carry over and are well developed. If you've listened to the first book, you'll already care about the characters and what happens to them.
Cons - First, too much time is spent referencing the events of the first novel. While I agree it was necessary to help the reader understand what some of the characters have been through and how that effects their motivations, actions, etc., it was simply overdone.
Second - Far too many scenes simply re-hashed information already given to the reader without moving the story forward. For example, most of the scenes in Nick's Diner only summarized the prior events and did nothing to advance the story. I honestly got the sense that I could have come in at the middle of the novel and know everything that had happened prior as soon as crowd at Nick's had lunch.
Third - The character inconsistency in Vanessa was kind irritating. She's feels convicted of her sinful relationship, yet has no problem deceiving her parents and the authorities in relation to her trips to the park??
Bottomline.. If you enjoyed the first book (which I did), you may want to listen just because of the characters. But Kathy Herman has got a lot of work to do on her storytelling.
