Jameson Investigations: Book 2
Publication Date: February 25, 2025
Rescuing a child
makes her a killer’s target.
Racing into a burning cabin to search for survivors, firefighter Diana Cameron stumbles upon an unconscious child—and two bodies with bullet wounds. When a sniper targets their narrow escape, Diana has no choice but to team up with bodyguard Chase Mitchell to keep the little girl safe. Uncovering the identity of the murder victims is the only way to find the killer. But as they’re chased by gunmen into the mountain wilderness, can they protect a tiny witness from the unknown…when the truth is more sinister than they imagined?
From Love Inspired Suspense: Courage. Danger. Faith.
Deena Alexander’s Love Inspired Suspense, Hiding the Witness, has firefighter Diana rescue an unconscious child from a harrowing fate after finding her with two dead bodies.
I loved that the characters prayed to God and asked for his intercession during difficult times throughout the story. God and faith are invoked many times, as the book is considered an inspirational suspense. The description doesn’t specifically say it is a Christian read, but faith plays a vital role and drives the plotline. The use of God in the storyline is subtle. However, it mirrors what most people would do in tense situations or when they need to draw on something or someone bigger than themselves.
I thought the little girl was so cute, and Diana and bodyguard Chase were good together. They each have their own “stuff” that they have been dealing with in their personal lives, which gives them emotional strength and resiliency to help them with the situation they are in now, as well as support the little girl who’s just as much a victim in this situation as they are.
I truly enjoyed this book. It was easy to read and wasn’t so emotional that it was hard to get through.
Suspense and faith meld together in Hiding the Witness, with a fast-paced story, solid content, and a cohesive plot.
