Breaker's Reef - Terri Blackstock - 3 stars

I got this book through BookLook Bloggers in exchange for an honest review and it is a mystery so I was game for it. However, when I got the book I was not aware that it was book #4 in the series. So that was kind of annoying, but decided to read it anyway.

In this book we have a murder of a young girl that takes place. And ex con, Sheila Caruso, discovers that the man she works for, an author named Marcus Gibson, has a scene in one of his books that mimics the crime scene of the recent murder in Cape Refuge. The story goes on from there.

I thought the story had a great plot line and the mystery aspect of the story was good although I found that it was a little predictable. I just feel like I wanted more to it. This is a Christian fiction as well so there were a lot of religious undertones to the story as well and I think they were in there quite randomly. I feel like it took a little away from the story.

I did not really connect all that well with the characters in this story. I did not have that feeling of really knowing who they were. I think that they were even unrealistic at points because everyone was nice despite who did what to who. And that is not how this world works. There were 2 antagonists in this story. The main antagonist was developed pretty well but the 2nd one was not really a substantial part of the story so I am not sure why he was even written into it at all.

Overall I enjoyed the mystery aspect of the story and I can recommend this to anyone who likes Mystery if you don't mind the religious undertones or if you enjoy Christian fiction.
