206283: Beguiled Beguiled

By Deeanne Gist & J. Mark Bertrand / Bethany House

Rylee Monroe, a dogwalker in Charleston’s wealthiest neighborhood, never feared the streets at night. But now a thief is terrorizing the area and worse, someone seems to be targeting her. Reporter Logan Woods is covering the break-ins with the hope of publishing them as a true-crime book. The more he digs, the more he realizes this beguiling dogwalker seems to be at the center of everything.As danger draws ever closer, Logan must choose: Chase the girl, the story, or plunge into the shadows after the villain who threatens everything?

I have thoroughly enjoyed Deanne Gist’s other novels and was excited about a mystery/suspense form her. Beguiled is a good book but I have to say it doesn’t measure up to the others she has written. There wasn’t the same level of humor and lightheartedness with the strong message about growing spiritually. That said… it was a good story and I really enjoyed the behind the scenes peek with a dogwaler! Fun mystery… worth reading. But 4 stars instead of the usual 5 I give her.

BTW it was co-authored with J. Mark Bertrand

I received a free copy of Beguiled from Bethany House for the purpose of review.
