I have enjoyed all the books I've read by Dee Henderson. I like the mixture of a good suspense, some romance, and Christian Faith. I have to admit that it took me longer to get through this book, not only due to the length of the book, but I had a hard time sticking with it. To be fair, I have to admit that I have little interest in antiques or coins, so I got lost in some of those details.
The story begins with Bryce Bishop...a bored, but successful rare coin dealer. Until Charlotte makes a mysterious appearance one night, She has a large collection she wishes to sell to him. If he refuses, she will open a store right next door.
Soon, Charlotte's secret begins to unravel. She and her twin were kidnapped at the age of 16. While her sister "escaped", Charlotte spend four long years with her kidnappers. She has not spoken of what happened in those years, and even though it's been 18 years since her release ,there are still threats to her family.
I was disappointed in the fact the reader never really gets to know Charlotte. With the exception that she was kidnapped and was having trouble accepting that God is a loving God, due to her circumstances, that's all that is revealed about her.
I think Bryce's character was a little too "good". He was an honest, God fearing man, but that's all I got out if it. No flaws, no fights or major disagreements. In a word, boring.
No real suspense, or danger to any of the characters, nor did Charlotte have any part of solving the mystery of the kidnappers.
