A cover with shades of violet and purple is not one to draw my attention.I'm a man.This didn't look like my type of book.Nevertheless, I'm a big fan of Brandilyn Collins, so I took a chance--and boy, am I ever glad!"Violet Dawn" is every bit the page-turner of her previous novels.The story starts with a lonely woman whose attempt at a serene new life is turned topsy-turvy by the startling discovery in her hot tub one night.Her attempts to deal with this surprise only cause further trouble, drawing the attention of the law and of a criminally insane villian.The story is fairly simple, but Brandilyn turns it into something special through her quick pacing, her shifts of point of view, and the setting for her new series.Though the plot lacked some of the surprises of her previous books, this is a satisfying read.I look forward to running into some of these characters again in the next books.Although one previous review complained that too much characterization slowed the pace, I felt the opposite: I thought the characterization was superbly balanced to increase my concern for those involved in the sordid details.
With the Kanner Lake series, Collins forges ahead with other female authors (Kathy Mackel, Melanie Wells, Claudia Mair Burney...to name a few) who are mixing excellent mystery and suspense with splashes of grace and faith in the midst of turmoil.It's a bright day for Christian fiction.

Product Description:
Something sinuous in the water brushed against Paige-s knee.She jerked her leg away.What was that? She rose to a sitting position, groped around with her left hand. Fine wisps wound themselves around her fingers. Hair?She yanked backward, but the tendrils clung. Something solid bumped her wrist. Paige gasped. With one frantic motion she shook her arm free, grabbed the side of the hot tub, and heaved herself out.Paige Williams slips into her hot tub in the blackness of night-and finds herself face to face with death.Alone, terrified, fleeing a dark past, Paige must make an unthinkable choice. In Violet Dawn, hurtling events and richly drawn characters collide in a breathless story of murder, the need to belong, and faith-s first glimmer. One woman-s secrets unleash an entire town-s pursuit, and the truth proves as elusive as the killer in their midst.
