Bad Stuff Can Happen In A Small Town

Tess Graver left a less than happy job situation in Charlotte, VA (after wrongly being accused of theft ) to help her Uncle Gordon recover after breaking his leg. On her way driving into the small town her uncle lives in she chances upon the dead body of a woman and in the bag beside the body is a scrawny little dog. Tess calls the police and assumes care of the dog. Practically before she's settled into her uncles house, someone breaks in and trashes the place. Tess turns to her neighbor, former DEA agent Ethan Rogers, who iis convinced the intruder was looking for something and didn't find it. Ethan doesn't want to be on this case. He's plagued by bad career memories from the past... It wasn't long before Ethan realizes Tess has secrets of her own and begins to suspect her. One of the most poignant aspects of the book is Ethan's inner turmoil as he wonders if the woman he's coming to love could be involved in the local drug trade and if she's capable of murder. A well done inspirational romantic suspense.

Good inspirational read....

Tess Graver returned home hoping for some peace and relaxation. Her uncle's injury gave her the perfect excuse to leave a job that had turned to sheer misery after she was suspected of theft. Now, a dead body has turned up and Tess is the one to find her. Unfortunately, it also appears Tess is being stalked. Can former DEA agent, Ethan Rogers, overcome his past memories to help Tess stay safe? Ginny Aiken touches on some very dark issues in DANGER IN A SMALL TOWN. Drugs, particularly meth, are a dangerous and harsh reality. Even small towns are now threatened by the meth industry. Tess and Ethan will see the dark underbelly of this otherwise quiet and peaceful, even quite ordinary, little town. Ginny Aiken is to be commended for addressing such a horrific industry in an inspirational book. DANGER IN A SMALL TOWN shows a woman who relies on her faith through both good and bad times. Ginny Aiken isn't overpowering with the issues of faith but rather inserts them in a manner befitting both Tess and Ethan's characters. One moment in particular stands out as the issue of not wallowing in the past is addressed. Trust is also a central theme as DANGER IN A SMALL TOWN is deeply thought provoking. Great read!
