Romance Contemporary

Melissa and Jannie have been best friends for the past 20 years, and they share a deep, dark secret from their past. No one but Melissa knows exactly what happened to Jannie that night in the sacred Mormon Temple; it was an act with repercussions that changed Jannie's life forever and shaped her into the person she is today. Melissa, now happily married (or so Jannie thinks), is reported missing just a few days after giving Jannie a secret box that she tells her is not to be opened. Then Jannie's apartment is ransacked and it soon becomes clear that someone will go so far as murder to find out what's in the mysterious box. As the police search for Melissa and start digging into her life, Jannie's past is also coming back to haunt her. Jannie soon finds that running from her past is no longer an option if she's to keep more people from dying. And the help of an understanding policeman, whose presence is a balm to her soul, becomes more invaluable as the case progresses. Taking us behind the scenes of contemporary Mormon life, this suspense novel is intriguing and interesting. The mystery element is driven by strong characters to an intense resolution. A great read.

SUMMARY

For twenty years, they had been closer than sisters, sharing girlhood secrets, their hopes and dreams for the future—and a soul-searing promise. Melissa was the only one who knew what had really happened to Jannie beyond the sacred walls of the Mormon Temple the night that changed her life forever…. UNTIL HER BEST FRIEND VANISHED WITHOUT A TRACE. Now Melissa has gone missing, just days after entrusting Jannie with a mysterious box that someone would kill to possess. And someone has—leaving in their murderous wake an innocent victim and a trail of blood that leads to the heart of Jannie’s hidden burden. Desperate to protect her secret, and to find out what has happened to Melissa, Jannie trusts no one. Not the stranger whose piercing green eyes have already seen too much, nor the family and friends whose familiar fold may be shielding a cold-blooded killer who is lurking BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
