Salvation Station

Salvation Station, Kathryn Schleich Mystery, Crime, Religious 328 pages 3/5 stars Synopsis:

Despite her years of experience investigating homicides for the force, Captain Linda Turner is haunted by the murders of the Hansen family. The two small children, clothed in tattered Disney pajamas, were buried with their father, a pastor, in the flower garden behind a church parsonage in Lincoln, Nebraska. But Mrs. Hansen is nowhere to be found—and neither is the killer.

This book had an unusual twist with murder and religious beliefs, it started very intensely about the murder of a family. I have never read a crime book where we know who the murderer is from the start, I thought this was refreshing and still worked well throughout the story. I did feel that some parts of the book were a little slow, when it came to chapters based on religion but towards the end, a lot of it tied together nicely.

Linda, the female inspector is a strong, brave woman and I enjoyed how Schliech wrote about this character. I was cheering her on to solve the case! The different POV worked well and I enjoyed finding out how the killer was going to be caught! Overall, an interesting and different read! Thankyou to Book Publicity Services for the copy!
