I very much enjoyed this sequel to Bringing Maggie Home. Kim Vogel
Sawyer does a great job of writing an exciting mystery, while delving
into relevant topics like forgiveness, grace and brokenness. Meghan
DeFord is a cold-case detective assigned to get to the bottom of the
mysterious disappearance of a banker who left for work and was never
seen again. The case stirs up wounds from her own past by her own absent
father. Meghan must choose between bitterness and resentment or healing
and restoration.
Some favorite characters from the first book
return in this one: Meghan's mother, Diane, and her grandmother, Hazel.
Both are women with difficult pasts who have found healing and hope in
their faith and relationship with Christ. Both are wonderfully warm and
funny and add much to the story.
Another relevant topic that
Unveiling the Past addresses is marriage. Meghan's husband, Sean, longs
to start a family, but Meghan is reluctant and fearful. They both
struggle to express their feelings and must learn how to communicate and
understand each other.
If you enjoy contemporary Christian
fiction and like a good mystery, you will definitely enjoy Unveiling the
Past. Although it is a sequel, it does stand alone if you haven't read
the first book, Bringing Maggie Home.
