Julie Gilbert (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 12, 2005

Books cannot take away pain but some may contain just the right words to soothe a weary soul. Join Nancy Trimmer as she finds the inner strength to face emotionally trying times by following the fictional lives of two FBI agents.

The Collins Case: When Christopher Collin’s sordid past catches him, it is his wife and two children who are kidnapped as leverage. He plays his part well but seeks outside help. Now, only God and two federal agents stand between the Collins family and disaster.

The Kiverson Case: Sometimes things just go wrong. When a routine arrest turns deadly, a madman marks two federal agents for destruction. Will mortal danger enhance or obliterate their faith?

The Davidson Case: Danger is an inherent part of law enforcement, but some cases strike far too close to home. Joy Davidson uncovers a conspiracy and earns herself some powerful enemies. Can the F.B.I.’s finest work detective wonders when the bad guys target family?

I thought that this was a great book. Once I had time to read it, the pages flew by. The first pages catch your attention and keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time. I loved the romance intertwined with the mystery and religious themes throughout this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good storyline with well developed characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars 3 good stories for the price of 1!, November 12, 2005

This review is from: Heartfelt Cases (Paperback)

I've never been too thrilled about contemporary fiction, but this book kept my interest throughout the book. The uniqueness of this book is having 3 stories that all connect in a smooth transition. The consistency of the main characters and the realistic settings of each story suspended my usual skepticism towards fiction.

In terms of the book's Christian aspect, as a fellow believer, I thought the book had realistic portrayals of how Christians struggle with their faith in a God who allows painful ordeals in life, but who remains faithful and true to those who persevere and maintain their belief.

Ah, I wish I had marketing power. This being several years later, I can safely say I've learned a lot from the process of writing and publishing this book. There are certainly things I would change about certain sentences if I had a second go-round... and there are still some grammatical mistakes because I'm too cheap to pay for them to change the template. That said, it's still a decent story.
