Book Description

Publication Date: April 14, 2009

I was only fourteen when I witnessed a murder on the riverbank. A murder that went unpunished. Unless you count what happened to my family. We were forced out of town by the teenaged killer's prominent parents. And the murder was forgotten--by everyone but me. Now, the killer is a respected businessman. I can't let him get away with it. But I'm a single mother with a child to protect, what can I do? The new man in my life, Mark Bishop, warns me to be careful. For there's already been another murder. Close to home.

More About the Author

Welcome to my amazon page! I hope you will browse my list of books. Almost all of my books are available for your Kindle, so load up your Kindle with lots of good reading! If you like mystery, thriller or romantic suspense, you've come to the right place.

Most of my novels have something to do with the sea. I grew up near the ocean and my love of the ocean was born when I was a child. When I was a little girl I remember sitting on the shore and watching the waves and contemplating what was beyond. I could do that for hours.

One of the things my husband and I enjoy is sailing. In the summer we basically move aboard our 34' sailboat aptly named - Mystery.

Both my husband Rik and I have achieved the rank of Senior Navigator, the highest rank possible in CPS. The U.S. sister organization is the U.S.P.S. My Senior Navigator diploma hangs proudly on my office wall.
What this all means is that I know how to use a sextant and can 'theoretically' find my way home by looking at the stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you have never read a book by Linda Hall, you are missing one of the best Christian suspense writers out there., May 5, 2009

This review is from: Shadows on the River (Shadows Series #3) (Steeple Hill Love Inspired Suspense #146) (Mass Market Paperback)

Fourteen-year-old Ally Roarke witnessed a horrific murder. When she came forward to tell others that Larry Fremont, one of the most popular and wealthy boys in the town pushed her best friend off a bridge, no one would believe her story and Larry was never tried for his crime. Many years later, Ally discovers that Larry may have killed again. But Ally is not fourteen any longer and she can't let Larry get away with murder again.

Ally, though wanting to do the right thing, is fearful of facing the powerful Fremont family after all this time. She might be a successful and respected boat designer as well as a mother of a ten-year-old daughter, but Ally finds herself dreading the confrontation. Enter fellow designer, Mark Bishop, who is more than willing to help Ally face her past and face her reasons for turning her back on God.

Linda Hall's books hold such wonderful characters and Shadows on the River is no exception. They are emotionally scarred, yet so real and vivid you invest all your energy and emotions into their lives and want them to succeed. She also paints such intense scenes with her descriptions that you feel like you are present. She combines all of this with suspense plots that are creative, not easy to solve and keep you turning the pages.

Hall's books have the power to grab you from the first page and keep you reading regardless of what's going on in the world around you. The only thing I do not like about Hall's books is that I find myself at the end of the book long before I want to get there. The good news is she keeps writing more of them so I can delve into the pages and get wrapped up in her characters again.

Not as predictable as I assumed when first starting to read it. Very emotional in that you can feel Ally's pain as she suffers the loss of her friend and no one believes in her. As her life unfolds it's easy to see why she turns away from God the way many people do. But, as in real life, she finds that God still loves her and has been there for her all along.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Hall's best, but a good read nonetheless., September 27, 2009

Probably my favorite of the Shadows series, but still not as intricate or suspenseful as her regular books...but then I know not to expect that from Love Inspired. :-)
