Jules Belleno keeps herself pretty much isolated from the
world since her husband was killed in the line of duty.
Other than trips to the grocery store and infrequent visits
by her father, her interaction with other people is limited
to her blog posts. She knows she has some faithful
followers to her blog who notice when she doesn't post her
Tuesday book review.
Her latest review critiques her
favorite author Patrick Reagan's newest book, a book she
finds lacking a certain terrifying element. When she awakes
in a dark room with words that she wrote about that book on
the ceiling, she realizes that she has been kidnapped. It
soon becomes apparent that she will have to use all of her
wits to survive, and it will be an experience that will
shake her to her core. Why was she chosen? Will she uncover
the truth before it is too late?
Chris Downey made a promise to his partner Jason Belleno to
look after his wife if anything ever happened to him. Chris
tried to keep that promise after his death, but Jules
pushed him away. When her father comes to his house
reporting that she is missing, Chris feels somewhat
responsible for failing to keep his promise. He knows that
Jules's dad likes his alcohol a bit too much, but he also
knows that Jules lives a rather sheltered and ordered life,
so he will look into it until she comes back home. As Chris
delves deeper into Jules' disappearance, he discovers a
shocking revelation that changes everything he believes.
Will justice prevail? Will he find Jules before it is too
late?
Rene Gutteridge pens an exceptionally nail biting
inspirational thriller. She guides us along dark, twisted
paths only for us to reach an unacceptable yet undeniable
truth. Jules and Chris each have their own demons to
conquer mostly stemming from the aftermath of Jason's
murder and the fact that each of them lost much more than a
mere partner. Jason was their spiritual pillar, the one
person whose faith was unshakeable, and with him gone they
are wandering alone in the dark searching for a ray of
light to lead them to the truth. Ms. Gutteridge holds us a
willing captive to her page turning suspense while quickly
endearing us to her characters. MISERY LOVES COMPANY
strings us along with kidnapping, plunges us to murky
depths with murder, and finally releases us with answers.
I could not read this story fast enough.
Filled with grief, Jules Bellano rarely leaves the house
since her husband’s death while on duty as a police
officer. Other than the reviews Jules writes on her blog,
she has little contact with the outside world.
One day when she ventures out to the local grocery store,
Jules is bumped into by a fellow customer who apologizes
profusely. She recognizes him as her favorite author,
Patrick Reagan. Jules gushes and thoroughly embarrasses
herself before Regan graciously talks with her.
And that’s the last thing she remembers—until she wakes up
in a strange room with a splitting headache. She’s been
kidnapped. And what she discovers will change everything
she believed about her husband’s death . . . her
career . . . and her faith.
