Review: OK Follow-up
Rating: 3 out of 5

I enjoyed the first book in this series quite a lot so I was eager to get on to this first sequel.  The strong points are the same as for "Vengeance is Mine", being the strong and interesting protagonist, Emily O'Brien, and how she tries to move along in her life after losing her husband.  I liked how Emily tries to be true to her faith in the face of temptation.  The mystery itself was fun in the way she and her fellow investigator go about finding the series of clues left behind by a troubled Christian scientist.  The one real let-down was in the very simplistic ideas about evolution and the scientific method.  There's not really any one thing out there that can prove or disprove evolution at least inasmuch as proof in biology may not be quite the same as proof in legal terms.  I hate to quibble about that but it's an important factor in the mystery itself.  Definitely not enough to spoil the whole book but it's not up to the level of "Vengeance as Mine."
