One secret links twelve strangers. One secret that could cost them everything.

Danielle Ross's life keeps slipping out of control. First she must abandon her education to take over her ill father's floundering detective agency. Then, while pursuing a new case, Dani becomes a victim herself. She awakens in a strange place and finds herself surrounded by eleven other people. Among them are a doctor, a dancer, a German submarine commander, and a former Death Row inmate--all clueless as to why they have been brought together. The culprit relentlessly insists they are united by one dark secret and that their lives depend on their confessing it. Can Dani find the link between these strangers before time runs out?

This review is from: One by One (Originally Guilt by Association) (Dani Ross Mystery Series #1) (Paperback)

This book has all the qualities of an excellent Gilbert Morris book - a compelling heroine, a tricky mystery, and an encouragement to those of like faith. This book was originally published under the title Guilt by Association by Bethany House Publishers, and the story has changed even though the title has. Dani Ross is a tough young woman who can't seem to get a break in life. After coming home to help out her father with the family business, she stumbles across a mystery that so envelops her as she is kidnapped and taken far away. We also meet Ben, the hardened investigator that Dani argues with at every turn. An excellent book for those who enjoy Christian fiction and especially mysteries of the Mary Higgins Clark, Terry Blackstock-type.

4.0 out of 5 stars Timely re-release for the Dani Ross series, November 4, 2000

This review is from: One by One (Originally Guilt by Association) (Dani Ross Mystery Series #1) (Paperback)

Dani Ross is a strong-willed ministerial student who must give up her dream of becoming a missionary to help her father in his private investigation agency. After getting mixed up with the wrong client, she is kidnapped and finds herself trapped in a silo with twelve others - the victims of a meglomaniac. Gilbert Morris draws out the suspense cleverly in one of his best plotlines.

I have read all of the original Dani Ross books, and I am glad to see that they are being re-released by Crossway. The new editions have been skillfully updated to fit in with their new 2000 time setting instead of the 1980's period in which they were first written. My only complaint is that I wish Mr. Morris had rewritten the descriptions of Dani's clothing as well, as they are still glaringly eighties and add an incongrous note.
