4-STAR REVIEW: CONCRETE EVIDENCE by DiAnn Mills

Publication Date: October 4, 2022

On the family’s Brazos River Ranch in Texas, Avery Elliott helps run her grandfather’s commercial construction business. Raised by Senator Elliott, Avery has never doubted her grandfather is the man of integrity and faith she’s always believed him to be . . . until the day she finds him standing with a gun over the body of a dead man. To make matters worse, Avery’s just discovered a billing discrepancy for materials supposedly purchased for construction of the Lago de Cobre Dam.

Desperate for answers, Avery contacts FBI Special Agent Marc Wilkins for help. As Marc works to identify the dead man Avery saw, threats toward Avery create a fresh sense of urgency to pinpoint why someone wants to silence her. With a hurricane approaching the Texas coast and the structural integrity of the Lago de Cobre Dam called into question, time is running out to get to the bottom of a sinister plot that could be endangering the lives of not only Avery and her loved ones but the entire community.

Avery Quinn Elliott never expected that she would witness a relative holding a gun while standing over a dead body. However, she soon realizes her devout Christian grandfather is hiding something.

Author DiAnn Mills delivers a suspenseful story in Concrete Evidence. The main characters, all of whom are active Christians, rely on their faith when the going gets tough. Avery teams up with FBI agent Marc Wilkins to find answers.

Both Avery and Marc have a personal stake in the investigation. While Avery tries to determine her grandfather’s role and stop the danger, Marc investigates his father’s sudden death. Along the way, they discover a connection to a dam construction project that could put the lives of area residents at risk, especially with a storm looming.

The author ensures readers are kept guessing as different phases of the investigation are completed. Through all the adversity, Avery and Marc develop a connection based on their shared faith. This part of the story emphasizes the value of faith when facing challenges.

Concrete Evidence provides a Christian-based story of suspense filled with Texas-style action.
