Mercy at Midnight

Mercy at Midnight

By Sylvia Bambola

When you start reading this book, you step into a world of crime and mystery.  Since I live in L.A. county, I can relate.

Reporter Cynthia Wells is haunted by a past deed that will not let her rest.

Pastor Jonathan Holmes is sent in a direction he never would have expected, and one he feels ill-prepared to handle.

Homeless man Stubby White loses two friends within a few days of each other, and now the killer is after him!

These three lives collide in an unexpected way.  They soon find that this life was never meant to be lived alone, and we all need God as our guide.

I came to like these characters, which isn’t always a good thing.  The more you care, the more you worry.  And believe me, there was plenty to worry about!

The plot held together really well, weaving these three lives into a perfect tapestry.  There were no boring snags along the way.  The story remained interesting from start to finish.

I also liked the way the author let me know immediately whose skin I was in.  She established the viewpoint character in the very first sentence every time there was a new scene.  Readers appreciate little courtesies like that!

I would recommend this novel to anyone who likes mystery and suspense, with a Christian view and a world view going head-to-head.

The publisher has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book through BookCrash.
