A small-town scandal quickly turns into a national media event. Is the murderer one of the obvious suspects . . . or someone they have no reason to doubt?

Ben Jackson is going head to head with Jonathan Cleary in Cape Refuge's mayoral race—and he's even expected to win—when his wife Lisa turns up missing the day before the major debate. Suddenly the town is in turmoil as proof of an alleged affair surfaces, indicating that Ben Jackson might have had motive to kill his wife.

Meanwhile, newspaper owner Blair Owens has other suspicions—and so does Police Chief Cade. Together they dig deeply into the mysterious disappearance that soon spirals into a web of confusion, dark secrets, and unsettling fraud.

Then the town's psychic reveals the location of Lisa's body—at the bottom of the river. Even though Blair doesn't believe his paranormal gift is real, she can't imagine how he knew where the body was.

The small-town scandal quickly turns into a national media event. Is the murderer one of the obvious suspects . . . or someone they have no reason to doubt?

From New York Times bestselling suspense author Terri Blackstock, River's Edge is the third book in her riveting Cape Refuge series.

      This well-crafted suspense novel picks up immediately following the second installment in the Cape Refuge series: Blair has just become a Christian and a newspaper owner; Morgan struggles with infertility; and Jonathan faces two opponents in his quest to become the mayor of Cape Refuge, their small Georgia island town. When the wife of one of Jonathan's opponents goes missing, among those the chief of police suspects are the third mayoral candidate (who is, unsurprisingly, an atheist), a prosperous fertility doctor and a local psychic who appears to have uncanny knowledge about the case. Despite some didactic moments (a biblical exposition of the dangers of divination, for example), the novel manages to be more plot-driven than message-driven, a step forward for evangelical Christian suspense. Numerous red herrings in the meticulously plotted story will keep readers guessing, and they will be delighted by the skillful surprise ending.

      In this follow-up to Cape Refuge and Southern Storm, Morgan Cleary, depressed after suffering a miscarriage, turns to her friend Lisa Jackson, who had experienced similar fertility problems. But Lisa, married to the man running against Morgan's husband in the mayoral race, has disappeared. Police Chief Cade suspects foul play, and when self-described psychic Carson Graham leads Cade to her body, questions are raised about Graham's involvement. News reporter Blair Owens joins the investigation, hoping for a deeper personal relationship with Cade. Veteran writer Blackstock ("Newpointe 911" series) delivers a tight blend of mystery and romance that her readers will appreciate. With crossover appeal for fans of Mary Higgins Clark or Joy Fielding, this is recommended for both CF and mystery collections. Blackstock resides in Mississippi.
