Title: A Shred of Evidence Author: Kathy Herman Publisher: Multnomah ISBN:1-59052-348-2 Genre: Inspirational/Suspense
Ross and Julie Hamilton have relocated to Seaport in hopes of leading normal lives again, away from the cruel, prying eye of the media. But their grief and overwhelming guilt hang on.
Ross buries himself with work at his uncle’s auto body shop, and drifts further away from his family. The isolation of their new lives threatens to strangle Julie. She pours her love onto their toddler, Sarah Beth, and longs for a united family.
Former newspaper editor, Ellen Jones has left Baxter behind to settled in Seaport with her husband, Guy. On a trip to the grocery store she bumps into Julie and Sarah Beth and strikes up a friendship with the mother and daughter.
During a relaxed lunch at Gordy’s Crab Shack a few days later, Ellen overhears overhears disturbing accusations about her new friend’s husband. But instead of approaching Julie with her questions, she uses her journalistic resources to delve into the Hamilton’s past.
Ellen’s search for answers unveils frightening information that she feels she can’t keep to herself. How can she just stand by when Sarah Beth seems to be in imminent danger?
As rumors about Ross spread, a vigilante spirit takes hold of the community. Someone spray-paints an inflammatory accusation on the Hamilton home, Sarah Beth disappears, and a rogue reporter thrusts the Hamiltons into the media cross-hairs.
Kathy Herman has crafted an must-read story that tackles the fine line between concern and gossip. A Shred of Evidence will leave readers with the jolting sense of the power of their own words.
A Shred of Evidence is the first in Kathy's new Seaport suspense series, and I look forward to her next installment Eye of the Beholder. | |
