Sanctuary by T.M. Brown.
Shiloh Mystery Series Book 1.
Theo Phillips, the narrator of Brown's successful series kickoff, has just left his position as chief editor at Cornerstone Publishing and moved with his wife, Liddy, to Shiloh, Ga. The couple finds the locals warm and welcoming, but Theo is curious about a statue dedicated to Jessie Masterson, who died three years earlier when the Shiloh courthouse burned down. Masterson, who was a coach and teacher at Shiloh High School, gave his own life to save the mayor's sons, Hank and Hal Archer. But the circumstances of the tragedy remain unclear, as neither Archer has given a straight answer about what caused the fire and exactly what happened before the heroic rescue. Encouraged to do some digging by the editor of the local newspaper, Theo predictably finds some secrets that others would have preferred remained hidden.
A really good read with good characters. I liked the story. Different. 4*.

Did not finish this book. I could not engage with this story or the characters.

“God doesn’t always send us on easy, comfortable tasks.” T.M. Brown’s first novel is a promising start to a new series. Retired and newly arrived in Shiloh, Georgia, Theo and Liddy Phillips find themselves welcomed into a tight knit community. They also discover some local mysteries to solve, and this isn’t very popular with some of the city’s leaders. Sanctuary is a great first novel and I look forward to reading more from this author in the future. I received a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you.
Enjoyed it.
Will purchase copies for family and friends.

Too religious and too boring for me to keep reading after about 20 pages
