Review

Caleb and Adam are achingly real. Messy and raw, they are still facing demons they hoped they could forget.

While they work on their latest case, they are also trying to put their relationship to rights, but they have a lot to work through. And this case keeps throwing Caleb up against his biggest hater and, in turn, his past. And this case is not a simple one.

It takes more than just their will to help them move forward in their relationship; thankfully, they have people in their corner willing to give them a shove when necessary.

If you like mystery, and your men flawed, then Caleb and Adam will have your heart.

Synopsis

Adam Dawson is finally on the right path. He’s ended his toxic marriage, come clean about his darkest secrets, and is building a healthier life in Peyton. But recovery isn’t linear. It doesn’t erase years of damage, and when his budding relationship with Caleb starts uncovering unexpected wounds, he’ll have to decide between finding courage to trust the process, and his relationship, or the ease of falling into old habits.

Meanwhile, Caleb Straus is determined to be better version than the man everyone walked over. Adam coming back into his life is the perfect test to show he’s learned to establish boundaries, and finally be happy. Everything he wants is within his grasp, but something keeps pulling him back. Amidst his struggles to find the strength to move forward, the body of Brenda Link, a local pharmaceutical company board member, shows up at the last place he ever wanted to go: Greater Life Church.

With no choice but to face the building, and pastor, who altered Caleb’s life in the worst ways, he and Adam begin uncovering Brenda’s turbulent life. An unstable marriage, a teenage daughter who recently lost her pregnancy, and a shaky relationship with the faith community provide a winding road of leads that never seems to end. Both men see the picture differently which adds fuel to the fire built by the things left unsaid and unaddressed in their relationship. It’s hard to solve a murder when everyone is hiding something to protect someone else. It’s even harder when you and your partner can’t stay on the same page.

With Adam and Caleb both taking damage from their past, and a case threatening to do more harm to a community still reeling from the Keola Antu murder, they’ll discover they’re not the only ones with skeletons in their closet. And if they don’t find what it takes to confront theirs and work together, it might cost them more than their relationship.

It could cost them their lives.
