Book Synopsis
Was this the last thing she'd ever see? Would she be able to make things right before it was too late?
"God . . ." was all she got out before he lunged toward her.
Grappling with the aftermath of a tragic incident that altered her life, ex-police officer and bestselling mystery author Erin Delaney finds solace in the tranquility of a cabin nestled deep in the Smoky Mountains. But her restful stay is shattered when cries pierce the night, hinting at a lurking presence haunting the woods. When local police chief Adrian Nightengale seeks her help with a carefully arranged murder scene, she is thrust back into the world of crime solving. As they delve into the investigation, Erin's intuition reveals chilling truths about the killer's motives and strategically perfected methods.
Joined by the enigmatic Kaely Quinn-Hunter, a former FBI behavioral analyst, Erin not only embarks on a quest to stop the merciless serial killer, but also confronts the revived ghosts of her past. In a race against time, Erin must defeat her own demons while outmaneuvering a cunning killer or risk becoming the next victim in this deadly game of cat and mouse.
Shattered Sanctuary is a clean, Christian, thrilling suspense novel set in the Smoky Mountains, full of police investigations, haunted woods, eerie threats, and ominous evidence. For fans of high-stakes suspense, Lynette Eason, and Elizabeth Goddard.

My Review
Nancy Mehl always writes great books, but this one was her most intense. Shattered Sanctuary's intensity had me shouting at the characters telling them what to do, and what not to do. My kids thought I lost it and asked if I was okay. Frankly, I wasn't. A serial killer was loose, and the characters tried to find out who it was even at their own expense. Like I said, it was super intense.
The novel brings together Erin, Kaeley Quinn-Hunter, and Chief Adrian Nightengale. Erin is a former police officer turned writer. Kaeley is a former FBI profiler. They join Adrian in Sanctuary, Tennessee, a small Smoky Mountain town. They must find a serial killer who is terrorizing women in the town. The novel has murder, suspense, thrilling moments, and faith. Erin has PTSD from a past police case. Kaeley helps her face her trauma. We've seen Kaeley in a prior series, and she has a unique way of profiling killers that has a creep factor added in.
Expect excitement and stress as you try to solve the puzzle. The ending will make your heart race. Nancy Mehl always delivers a fast-paced, gripping novel and I highly recommend her books.
My Favorite quote...
“The worst thing you can do is to stuff your feelings—and your nightmares—inside yourself. It’s like when you cut your finger and someone tells you that leaving it uncovered will help with healing. You’ve got to uncover the trauma so you can heal.”
