The Book of Judges — Traci Tyne Hilton

All things work together for the good for those who believe. Too bad Maura Garrison, private investigator, isn't a believer. The murder she was hired to solve hinges on its parallel in the Old Testament book, Judges, but she was just dumped by her pastor-husband so the Bible is the last thing she wants to turn to for answers. Rick Styles, Maura's husband, is a popular marriage and family counselor with a thriving writing and speaking side business. He's also the member of a city council committee dedicated to getting homeless children off the streets of Portland, Oregon, a worthy goal that seems to have attracted the attention of a sick and twisted killer. Solving this crime means digging into things Maura wants desperately to avoid, but if she wants to escape her own intolerable life she's going to have to get her hands dirty. Hilton's prose is beautiful and clever. She draws readers into the story with vivid descriptions of places and emotion states. --The BookLife Prize Hilton opens up a thought-provoking mystery in The Book of Judges, exploring the idea of forgiveness and belief through Maura's personal relationships.
