Word of Honor

| By Christine In Terri Blackstock |

Synopsis:

Of the four people at the Newpointe post office when the bomb went off, three were killed instantly. The fourth, a five year old boy, lies comatose in the hospital and might not survive.

Who would do such a thing? The answer comes in the form of a gunman crashing through the door of the hotel room where Jill Clark is staying. With a rifle barrel pointed at her temple, the young attorney suddenly finds herself the hostage of a desperate man whose actions hardly fit his claim that he’s innocent of the bombing.

Only later, when the suspect is behind bars, does Jill wonder whether he’s as guilty as he appears. Prompted by a terrifying attempt on her life, Jill and old flame Dan Nichols dig deeper into the case. But standing in the way lies an obstacle Jill hasn’t counted on: the power of a covenant. It could change her life. Or, with the clock ticking, it could seal her death.

Review:

Word of Honor is an exciting story. The action begins within the first few pages and the suspense carries you through to the last. Even though the you will know who the killer is, that knowledge does not take away from the story and how it unfolds.

As the story unfolds, Terri Blackstock points out the mindset and the thinking of a troubled person and the effect it can have on so many people. Also, you learn about covenants and the power and influence they can have on people as well. This is something Jill Clark learns as she represents her client.

As always, there is that element I enjoy about Terri Blackstock books: the romance involved. In this case it is between Jill Clark and Dan Nichols. You see how they find their way to a lasting relationship with one another and with God.

I recommend reading Word of Honor as a good mystery as well as a means of learning spiritual truths the book reveals. Terri Blackstock writes great stories, and this one is no exception.
