I really enjoyed this novel. I am hungry for more. I read the reviews for this and maybe I'm just not as 'mature' a reader as I am in age. The few mistakes made are no more than books edited and published by the big 5 publishing houses in many of their books. To me, a really good book grabs my attention and keeps it until the end. I thought Jayden was very well rounded, as were all the other characters in the novel. She is a flawed human being doing her best to overcome her problems while being the best person she knows how to be. I really liked her and look forward to getting to know her a lot better in the future. I liked how the author handled Jayden's military experiances, her loss, as well as her ability to learn from her mistakes. All very well done.As for the reviewer who didn't like how the megachurch was portrayed, I think it's an intregal part of the novel. Without that, there is no novel. To think that this couldn't happen in the real world is very foolish. Scandals have happened in megachurches and will continue to happen because the leaders are human beings and they all have failings. Some are just worse than others. Power, avarice, adultery, and drink are the most usual culprits. I would imagine that in this day and age, it will be drugs, too. These failings have nothing to do with the message. The message is true and the flawed one sending the message doesn't make it less true.I enjoyed this mystery just as much as any mystery by my favorite authors such as Agatha Christie, Amy Corwin, JR Rain, Martha Grimes, Mary Roberts Rhinehart, Jennifer Ashley and on and on. This author is excellent and can tell a very good story. One thing I really did like was her ability to stay in the correct tense. She has a very good grasp of grammer and the proper way to construct sentences. This ability makes for a very pleasant reading experiance. I highly recommend this author and hope to see more Jayden Morrow mysteries in the future. I will certainly get them as they become available and will regard them as a real treat.
