A
bizarre hit and run brings Branigan Powers back to the crime solving
beat.A fatal crash involving two college students heading home for the

Powers delves into the mystery that takes her to the college campus and

parties.Reunited with the homeless Malachi Martin, who is so adept at
seeing what isn't instead of what is, Branigan must uncover what is
really going on at the college.

MY THOUGHTS
This
author brings us the two sides of the tracks, so to speak. The
homeless and then we have the rich with all their society ways. This
author puts the reader's mind to work and will find a place in your
heart, as well. There's no time for closing the book and taking a
break. It is like a finely woven web with all the turns and angles.
The main character the author gives us is a determined, strong, caring
and out for justice.
The
author surprises you with the turn from the accident to the college
campus where frats and their parties can be dangerous if not deadly.
We then are taken from the frat houses to a homeless man. What does
Malachi Martin have to do with this accident? Malachi has a sense, a
sense of seeing what isn't there, not what is. Most characters see what
is in front of them but this author gives us a character who sees what
isn't there. Quite a change.
People
are in danger. Will Branigan be able to figure out what is really
happening, what the frats have to do with it? Will she listen to
Malachi and his different way of looking at things? The story ran at a
good pace and kept the reader's interest from the moment the girl woke
up at the accident. When I heard an antique hearse caused the
accident, my interest peaked. Will yours?
I was given a copy of this book from the author and Kregel Blog Tours and voluntarily decided to review it.
