Thread of Deceit [Kindle Edition]

Catherine Palmer (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Something was terribly wrong with the shy, scared little girl. Every day, she came to Haven, Sam Hawke's inner-city youth center. But the former marine couldn't get Flora to open up. So he turned to newspaper reporter Ana Burns, hoping that her skill at asking nosy questions about him and his mission could be put to better use.

Flora quickly captured Ana's heart. As did Sam and his dream of providing a haven for children with nowhere else to go. Ana's questions were soon answered--and worst fears confirmed--about little Flora. And protecting her and the center from a powerful predator would take all their love and faith combined.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easily one of the best books I've ever read!, May 16, 2009

This review is from: Thread of Deceit (Kindle Edition)

Please note that at the time I write this, many of the reviews on this page are for a different Catherine Palmer book that apparently many people were not fond of. Please don't let them make you shy away from reading this book. Thread of Deceit is easily one of the best books I have ever read, and I am a voracious reader.

Without giving too much of the book away, let me say that this is a story you will feel deeply. The overall subject matter is a serious one, though there are definately light and funny moments throughout the book. It is an emotional read; one that will move you and stick with you. I initially read Thread of Deceit only as a "prequel" to Palmer's next Haven book "Stranger in the Night" and found that this book was FAR better than the description made it sound. The characters are believable, lovable despite some obvious quirks, and their past pain is palpable without being overdone.

On a side note, I was able to figure out quite early on who the "bad guy" of the book really was, but this in no way really detracted from this very moving story. I was up until 2 AM last night because I couldn't put the thing down. It is written from a Christian perspective, and mentions of God and church are woven seamlessly throughout the story. For those of you against such things, I would encourage you to not let that stop you from what really is a great read and very, very moving story.
