About this ebook

Short-listed in The Word Awards 2023. Finalist in the Angel Book Awards 2022.

Attempted murder. A hostile rescuer. And an amateur sleuth’s vow to catch the attacker before he strikes again.

Against all odds, Landon Smith and her ordinary-hero neighbour Bobby Hawke survived a murderous plot six weeks ago. Now, she’s determined to leave solving mysteries to the experts—like handsome local police officer Dylan Tremblay.

But when her friend Ciara is nearly killed in a daring daylight attack, Landon can’t sit this out. Not when she knows the anger of being a victim.

Her faith tells her to leave room for God’s vengeance. Her heart says to retaliate. 

The fight to expose Ciara’s enemy will uncover secrets and betrayal that could cost Landon her life.

Discussion questions included. If you like clean mystery/suspense and Christian women’s fiction, read Bitter Truth today!

Ratings and reviews

3.8 stars It had been a good while since I'd read the others in this series and I found the start slow going. One reason was the heroine's name - Landon - I kept thinking was male and also confused it with Zander. This meant I had to keep rereading lines. Hopefully other readers won't have this problem. For lovers of cozy mysteries (mystery rather than suspense although there are some deaths). The last 20% really hummed along. I enjoyed the main characters and also the Christian elements especially the whole issue of forgiveness and revenge and what is our part and God's in justice.
