Shake Down (Love Inspired Suspense)

By Jill Elizabeth Nelson

Description:

HOUSE OF SECRETS To clear his imprisoned father's name, Shane Gillum must find evidence hidden in a Martha's Vineyard cottage. But he arrives to find the "vacant" property being prepped for sale by real estate agent Janice Swenson. Is she tied to the notorious owners? Or is she in over her head as the "accidents" on the property grow increasingly dangerous? And who is the saboteur targeting—Shane with his search, or Janice with her dark, hidden past? With so much at stake, trusting Janice is a huge risk…but keeping silent about the cottage's mysteries could mire them both in a deadly scheme.

Book Takeaway:

Our lives are not our own. The choices we make, the paths we take, affect others around us—particularly our families. In Shake Down, we meet characters whose lives are lived in shadow and secrecy because of the horrors in their family background. The characters must face down mortal danger and choose to accept healing in their emotions, minds, and spirits in order to rise above the taint of their family reputation.

Why the author wrote this book:

When the public learns of a horrible crime, we tend to grieve for the victim and the victim's family. Shake Down explores the grief and trauma experienced by the perpetrator's family members.
