Cooper Lee adores her friends at Hope Street Church.
Spending time with her bible study group, the Sunrise Bible
Study Group, has truly given her a new outlook on life. She
is a little concerned about how her relationship with
Nathan has grown a bit distant, especially when the
mysterious Edward Crosby reappears in her life.
When her sister Ashley looks to be involved in a grisly
murder, Cooper knows she has to do the right thing and help
clear her sister's name. So she enlists Nathan's help,
along with her friends from Hope Street. With a little
luck, a few prayers, and a whole lot of nosiness, she just
might find the real killer.
The third book in Jennifer Stanley's Hope Street Church
Mystery series, THE WAY OF THE GUILTY is a gentle and sweet
who-dun-it that combines a little suspense, a little
romance, and a lot of faith to result in a charming novel.
Stanley fleshes out her characters and gives them
more dimensions with each book. I found the inclusion
of Biblical verses at the beginning of each chapter to be
very soothing and appropriate to each chapter.
Cooper Lee has a new outlook on life, thanks to her friends
at Hope Street Church. Spending time with the Sunrise Bible
Study Group nourishes her mind and soul. But home is where
the heart is—along with Mrs. Lee’s baked treats—and Cooper
is indeed happy to have such a great family to come home to
when not spending time with Nathan, a friend from the group
who just might be (fingers crossed) The One. So when her
sister, Ashley, is implicated in a gruesome murder, Cooper
snaps into action. Along with Nathan and her friends from
Hope Street, Cooper vows to solve this unholy mess—with a
wing, a prayer, and a small dose of snooping…
