When Josie’s abusive soon-to-be-ex-husband had an affair with another woman, Josie could have murdered them. When someone does, Jo is the prime suspect and the only one who can solve the case.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

Jo Oliver’s divorce is not turning out good. He keeps wanting more and more from Jo and he doesn’t deserve anything! Where her thoughts of wanting he and his mistress dead comes to life, she is the prime suspect. Jo is doing everything she can to clear her name. Calling in FBI agent Nick to help solve this mystery is the only thing she can do.

This book is surely a fast paced thriller, murder mystery, suspense. It has it all. There is a lot going on here in the story as we follow Jo and her journey to clear her name. The interesting and mysterious plot kept me reading because I wanted to find out who the killer really was. I never suspected Jo but all fingers sure pointed to her. Emotions are flying everywhere throughout this story, and ended with a cliffhanger ending that cut me off quick! I wasn’t expecting that ending, though maybe I should have been.

I feel reading this series in order is best. This second book continues Jo’s story and with the second book ending, you will want to read the third book as well! Shattered By Death is a well written book, and I am sure the rest of the series is just as good! I enjoyed getting to know the characters. I had a little trouble connecting with Jo at first, but then as I look at what she is going through, I could understand her better. If you enjoy a good clean murder mystery with characters that show faith in God, this is one you will enjoy!

More from Catherine

“If you could kill someone and get away with it, what would you do? How would you do it?”

Having posed this question over dessert during a really good first date several years ago—to my surprise and delight my date proceeded to share a story about an international cosmetic gone badly awry. I was so taken with this story, that I couldn’t wait to get home and start writing. And I did. That night I sat down to write a scene between two powerful women, intending one to toy with the other by playing with a jar of deadly moisturizer as they interacted.

As I wrote that night, an unexpected scene involving spiritual warfare popped into my head and onto the screen. The edgy, scary, lock-your-doors-before reading story I called Shattered by Death was born.

While the moisturizer scene didn’t ultimately stay in the book, the idea of powerful women pitted against each other did. I strive to create antagonists that are as strong—or stronger—than Jo Oliver. When I feel the tension of wondering whether or not Josie is going to make it out alive—that’s when I know I’m in the middle of a great story.

I hope you think so too.

Enjoy the read!
