I love this series and these characters and cannot wait for the next book. Mapes writes with such clarity and intrigue it is easy to get caught up in the story. The problem is that the book is completed too quickly and then we are left wanting more. Highly recommend this series and all of Creston's books!</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>????? Creston Mapes out did himself. Very realistic we never want to believe our children are into drugs or that cops kill other cops. Mapes shows readers how Jesus can take darkness into His light. You will not be disappointed</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>????? Mapes hits the bullseye with Secrets in Shadows. This hard-hitting Christian thriller reveals the gut-wrenching truth of closet drinking the ease of police cover-ups and the parental angst of watching a grown child face overwhelming challenges. The Signs of Life series has kept me on the edge of my seat.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>????? I loved this book but seriously hate that once I start a Creston Mapes book I am not going to put it down. There goes my daily walk and any number of good things I ought to be doing. Great moving plot and characters so well developed you feel you should look for them on Instagram. Very well done everything a great book needs and some extras like faith in action.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>????? Another page Turner with twists and turns you don't expect. Creston's got a knack for making his characters truly come alive making you root and cheer and boo for them all the way through a great read!</span></p><p><br></p>
