Description
Sophie Wittenbauer left her strict Mennonite hometown under a cloud of shame and regret. After a rough childhood, her teenage poor choices harmed others, leaving her with no choice but to change her life. Her entry-level writing job at a newspaper puts her in the right place at the right time to overhear office gossip about a prisoner who has information on a decades-old unsolved crime. While the other reporters write off the tip as the ravings of an angry criminal, Sophie can't ignore it because she knows the name of this prisoner from her old life.
Upon learning from the man that one of the other suspects is hiding out in the Missouri town of Sanctuary, she takes on a false identity to investigate and meets the young pastor of a local church--the very man she'd loved as a troubled teenager. As she gets closer to finding the suspect, will the truth of her own past come out before she discovers the identity of the criminal--or the very person she's seeking puts a fatal stop to her investigation?

I really enjoyed this 3rd book by Nancy Mehl in the Finding Sanctuary series. I had read the first book in the series, but not the second, and I was able to read this one without feeling like I had missed something from the story line. The mystery elements were enough to keep me reading and I enjoyed watching Sophie transform and soften her heart towards God as the story unfolded. I also enjoyed reading more about some of the characters from the first book in the series. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes Christian fiction with a bit of mystery and romance woven through.
I was given a complementary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is an amazing read! Nancy Mehl has fast become one of my favorite authors. She has a way of creating the best suspense novels that keep you reading because you have to see if you figure out the whodunit before she gives it away at the end. Her writing style is excellent and I always feel like I'm right there inside the book with the characters. Plus the characters draw me in and I either love them or love to hate them.
Rising Darkness is book three in a series. Sophie ran away from an abusive and bad situation in the Mennonite town she grew up in. Now she's in Sanctuary, Missouri with an assumed name trying to solve a mystery without giving away who she really is. And then, of course, she runs into someone she knows. Not just someone she casually knows but the guys she's been in love with forever!
You're going to love this book. It's fast-paced and has plenty of characters to love and hate. I loved the whole series about Kingdom and where we met Sophie and Jonathan. Now I've loved this last novel in the Sanctuary series as well. Definitely read all six!
