Fatal Finale (The Erin Delaney Mysteries) by Nancy Mehl [Giveaway]

Fatal Finale (The Erin Delaney Mysteries) by Nancy Mehl 

A Christian Romantic Suspense Novel with Action, Cryptic Clues, Police, & FBI Investigations 

They'd started back to the house when they heard a male voice behind them. Then a shot rang out. "Run!" Kaely said.

When bestselling author Erin Delaney's novel gets picked up for a movie deal, she eagerly awaits her friend Kaely Quinn-Hunter's arrival in Tennessee before they head to California to observe the film's production. However, when Kaely does not arrive at the scheduled time and Erin can't reach her by phone, her concern grows.

A cryptic phone call from Kaely's kidnapper confirms Erin's worst fear--she has exactly six days to save her friend's life by solving his twisted clues. The message comes with a warning: Contact the police or FBI, and Kaely dies. But Erin works for the Sanctuary Police Department, and Kaely's husband is with the FBI, putting her in an impossible situation. As Erin races against time, she's forced to crack the kidnapper's chilling puzzle before it's too late.

My thoughts:  As the wrap-up finale of "The Erin Delaney Mystery Series," FATAL FINALE pits FBI profilers, local police, and dedicated friend against a mentally challenged kidnapper who seeks revenge for his daughter's murder years prior. This strongly Christian faith-based story is contemporary, fast-faced, intriguing, suspenseful, fearful, and redemptive.

As Erin, a successful suspense novelist whose latest book is currently being made into a movie, awaits her friend, Kayle's arrival, she receives a terrifying message. This launches Erin and her friends on a hunt that is laced with unknown qualities and has a limited deadline of six days. Then kidnapped Kayle will be killed.

The convoluted messages. The convoluted interpretation. The terror Kayle experiences and the wise choices she makes. The unknown and odd "people" that visit the scenes lending guidance.  All these unravel the end of this nightmare experience.

Strong quotes of Scripture encourage and direct decisions and the faith elements were especially strong.

A fine conclusion to this series. I'm looking forward to Nancy Mehl's next book.
