The Hands of a Woman
(2018)(The second book in the Maura Garrison Mystery series)
A novel by Traci Tyne Hilton
Maura Garrison is still hurting from her husband's infidelity. Some days she wants nothing more than to see him get hurt the way she did, but other days she still loves the guy, possibly for all the wrong reasons.
When another Bible-based murder falls into her lap, her questions about God, how he can love a jerk like Rick, and how she can ever learn to forgive, come back to haunt her.
The book of Judges killers are locked up and awaiting trial, so why was Bruce Michaels found dead with a tent peg through his temple? Are the wrong people in jail, or is a copycat criminal wreaking havoc on Portland? Both options are terrifying, and Maura is desperate to get her hands on the case.
When a journalist looking for his shot at fame offers Maura a job investigating for him, she snaps it up. But providing a man with fodder for his pod cast rubs her the wrong way, and so does his passion for murder.
With an angry widow, a private college with a questionable history, and a mysterious cult all vying for Maura's attention, the journalist is far from the only suspect she's chasing. But no matter who is behind it, Maura finds herself caught in the whirlwind of religious mania and Biblical vengeance, the last place her wounded heart wants to be.
Can Maura draw out her killer before more lives are lost or will more of her friends fall to "the hands of a woman?"
The Maura Garrison Mysteries are classic Christian murder in the spirit of Chesterton, Sayers, Peretti, and Rushford.
Genre: Mystery
