Unveiling the Past

I have read several of Kim Vogel Sawyer's books, but I have to say I could not put this one down.

Unveiling the Past by Kim Vogel Sawyer has Sean and Meghan Eagle, cold case detective partners in Little Rock Arkansas. As a new case develops, Meghan is asked to take the lead in finding Sheila Menke’s father. He went missing in 2002, when he did not return from work. He was found guilty of embezzlement, and thought to have left the country. Sheila never believed it, and wants to know what happened to her father. 

Meghan and Sean have a difficult decision to make. They have always worked together, but the current case they are working on is about to break. Sean makes the decision to stay with the case, as Meghan is assigned to work with an efficient yet angry co-worker, Tom Farber. 

The case becomes personal for Meghan, never knowing own her father, yet wanting to make a contact with him. As the story unfolds, Meghan's mother, Diane, runs interference between Meghan and her father, a man who has had four wives and cannot seem to find happiness or fulfillment.

Sawyer has a way of drawing you into the story. Her characters share their lives in an open way, imperfections and all. Unanswered questions and reflections from a  painful past, are addressed in forgiveness and building of family in a clear spiritual message. Clean Christian fiction and a touch of mystery. Very well written.

I received a copy of the book from WaterBrook & Multnomah via Net Galley. All comments and opinions are solely my own.
