Rivers Edge

Murder and suspicion disturb the peaceful haven of Cape Refuge. In book three of the #1 bestselling Cape Refuge series, Terri Blackstock weaves another riveting story of blackmail, deceit, and murder. Reconciling themselves to the tragic death of her parents, Morgan and Jonathan Cleary continue to manage Hanover House, a residence for those seeking a new start in life. They are also trying desperately to have a child. When Jonathan is recruited to run for mayor, they are drawn into a gritty campaign that tests their faith and ethics. Ben Jackson seems to have the mayoral election locked up-until his wife’s body is found at the bottom of the river. Police Chief Cade investigates Lisa’s death and finds the facts of the case don’t add up. Lisa’s best friend and partner is sure Ben is responsible in some way. Rani Baxter claims Lisa had been receiving mysterious letters written by a woman claiming she had an affair with Ben. Even though Ben swore the letters were a hoax, Blair Owens-in her new job as a newspaper reporter-begins searching for the woman who wrote the letters. Could Lisa’s death have anything to do with Ben’s affair? Was it tied to her decade-long quest to get pregnant? Does the fertility clinic she’d been frequenting-the same one she encouraged Morgan to visit-hold any clues? Was this an act of a jealous love? A dangerous client? Or is this all about the election?
