If I Run by Terri Blackstock

Several years ago I discovered Terri Blackstock.  I think I have read every single one of her books and she is now my favorite author.  I was excited to be able to review this book.  She has the wonderful ability to keep the reader in suspense… this book was definitely suspenseful!  The two main characters iin the book tell their story in first person. So…the story goes back and forth between these two characters.

      Cassey Cox is a young lady that discovered Brent (her best friend) murdered in his home.  She makes the mistake of not contacting the police immediately when she discovered his body.  Realizing that her DNA would be at the scene… and that she would most likely be the prime suspect, she decides to investigate on her own…knowing that she would be on the run.  To carry this off, she took on the identity of a woman that was deceased. 

      Dylan Roberts was also a friend of Brent’s.  He is hired by Brent’s family as a private investigator to find the person that killed their son.  After reviewing all the information that the police allow him to see, he also believes that Casey killed Brent.  However, as his investigation continues and as he digs deeper and deeper… he begins to form doubts about her involvement with the murder.

     I love how the author brings people into Casey's life who love the Lord.  Although Casey is not a Christian these people are able to influence Casey in a positive way.  

      I find that whenever I am reading a book that Terri Blackstock has written, I ALWAYS have an extremely  hard time putting them down.  This book was no different.  I was finished in 2 days!!  I love the suspense so I have to keep reading.  I do  like closure in a book...but this on did leave me hanging.   I’m definitely looking forward to reading the next book! 

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley.  In exchange, I have given an honest review of what I thought about the book.
