Rising Darkness

Finding Sanctuary Series, Book 3

By: Nancy Mehl

Narrated by: Vanessa Daniels

Sophie Wittenbauer left her strict Mennonite hometown under a cloud of shame and regret. After a rough childhood, her teenage poor choices harmed others, leaving her with no choice but to change her life. Her entry-level writing job at a newspaper puts her in the right place at the right time to overhear office gossip about a prisoner who has information on a decades-old unsolved crime. While the other reporters write off the tip as the ravings of an angry criminal, Sophie can't ignore it because she knows the name of this prisoner from her old life.

Upon learning from the man that one of the other suspects is hiding out in the Missouri town of Sanctuary, she takes on a false identity to investigate and meets the young pastor of a local church - the very man she'd loved as a troubled teenager. As she gets closer to finding the suspect, will the truth of her own past come out before she discovers the identity of the criminal - or the very person she's seeking puts a fatal stop to her investigation?

Search and Find

In her hunt to find a criminal in hopes of her career reaching a new level Sophie finds more than expected! Nancy Mehl is one of my favorite authors. Sophie has a rough history, a lot of guilt and is trying to have a new identity. The end is jaw dropping and satisfying. This is book three of the series but can be read as a stand alone.

Great cozy mystery series!

By the last book I was yelling at the characters a bit, they take a bit too long to catch on. Other than that I do love this little series. You get to know the people on the town and feel at home with them.
