Rating: 5 out of 5

While crime fiction is not my usual genre, I was totally swept up in Nike Chillemi's debut fiction novel, "Burning Hearts" (Sanctuary Point Book One). It was a gripping murder mystery that left me wondering "Who dunnit?" right up until the last chapters.But besides the mystery and romance of her story, Chillemi's writing was filled with the delightful lingo, culture, and trends of the post WWII era. Her characters were well developed, especially the war veteran protagonist who tries to be a hero only to end up as a suspect. There are so many great characters in this intriguing book that proves a book written with a Christian worldview can be intense without overstepping a readers' conservative sensibilities.The most refreshing part was her realistic thread of faith lost and faith renewed throughout the story. Very believable as a story of the age-old dilemma of good vs. evil. A well-written tale that is well worth your time.
