Unveiling The Past by Kim Vogel Sawyer - 4 Stars


I really enjoyed this Christian Mystery.  Reading the book and unraveling the mystery, as well as reading about Newlyweds Sean and Meghan’s personal issues on having a baby or not, was very interesting.  It all boiled down to the love of the true Father in most instances.

Sean and Meghan both work in the cold case detective division. They were working on cases together but in this instance they were pulled apart to work with different partners which they really didn’t think they would enjoy and fought against, but in the end they found that working with different partners on different cases brought new and interesting angles to think about as they worked each day. I would absolutely recommend this book for those who enjoy this type of mystery. 

I received this book in kindle format as an advance reader copy promotion from Waterbrook and Multnomah through Netgalley.com.  All comments and opinions of this book are my own freely given.  #UnveilingThePast.  #KimVogelSawyer.


Description as found on Netgalley.com:

Mysteries, family secrets, and the love of a true Father are found at the heart of this gripping novel from the bestselling author of Bringing Maggie Home

Newlyweds Sean Eagle and Meghan DeFord are no strangers to pain and loss. As cold-case detectives, they know intimately the anguish family members endure after the murder or disappearance of a loved one. But when a new case hits too close to home, it threatens to pull loose the fragile cords of their young marriage.
 
Sheila Menke was just a girl when her father left for work and never returned. An investigation revealed he had embezzled enough to start a new life elsewhere, but Sheila could never accept the court’s criminalization of her father. Meghan reluctantly takes the case, secretly fearing it will stir up buried feelings about her own biological father. And while Sean investigates the mysterious death of two young brothers, he longs to start a family. But Meghan worries that with a negligent mother and an absentee father as her parenting examples, she might never be fit for motherhood.
 
As they delve deeper into the past, both Meghan and Sheila must choose to either stumble along the road of bitterness and resentment or walk the difficult path toward forgiveness and healing. When the cases begin to break wide open, these young women are poised to discover that while earthly fathers may fail, there is one in heaven who is a father to the fatherless.
