Jill is taking a deposition when the explosions occur, and of course Dan and all of the Newpointe responders offer their services. The bomber's identity is a neat plot twist. Jill's semi-adoption of a ragged, insecure girl whose mother was killed provides part of the story, as does her husband Dan who is missing and presumed dead at the start 's loss and eventual recovery.
Dan's mother is a caricature of a spoiled heiress and adds nothing to the story, except to irritate the people of Newpointe, Jill in particular.
I am SO hooked on this series, even tho the last one wasn't quite as good. The thirty-story building goes up in flames and fire departments from all around the area are called in. How do we react in tragedy n adversity? Good as always I believe this was best of this series. Even though this is the third in this Newpointe series, it is the first I've read. This series were mild compared to the later suspense from Terri Blackstock.
Dealing with grief and loss after a tragedy are handled fairly well. Dec 18, Angelika rated it really liked it. I actually liked the book, with all the fuss going around. The start may not be full of actions but nevertheless things comes bouncing up and and down towards you. Quite sad, really , about the terrorism and the people.
Still, it's a great book. I'd totally recommend it.
Oct 02, Debbie rated it really liked it Shelves: This is the fifth book in the series, but it reads like a stand-alone.

After that, the suspense was created by relationship tension, regret and sorrow leading characters toward potentially bad decisions, and the side mystery of who blew up the building. The mystery was handled realistically and was not easily guessable ahead of time. The characters were varied, interesting, and dealt with realistic problems.
The story's focus was mainly on dealing with loss and why God would allow it and on loving people who are different. Most of the characters were Christians who were mutually struggling to understand why God allowed some to live, some to die, and some to have life-changing injuries. There were no sex scenes. There was a very minor amount of "he cussed" style of bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this interesting novel. Jul 27, Noela rated it it was amazing.
