Splashdown — Linda K. Rodante

Lynn Stapleton likes designer handbags and high-end clothing, so how did Sharee Jergenson talk her into visiting a homeless site, much less starting a friendship with one of its residents? Then a hurricane hits Florida, and Lynn finds herself involved in the homeless woman's murder. Detective Rich Richards thinks Lynn's connection with the woman is suspicious, but Lynn doesn't care what the blue-eyed detective thinks. She's not leaving this investigation until the murderer is found. On the other hand, Richards finds Lynn not just a disruption to his case, but also to his life as a nominal Christian. He'd do better to stay away from the tall, willowy blonde, but he can't -- because she and Sharee have unearthed evidence that will convict someone of murder, and that person has marked both women for death. Reviewer Deborah Dunson says, I love this story, I really, really love this story. Even though it dealt with several serious topics it was a joy to read and I loved how the author was able to mingle the gospel message through(out) the story.
