WHAT'S HOT in Inspirational Mystery and Suspense

Marji Laine here. 

This sounds like an emotional and heart-warming suspense! I'm intrigued! 

Trace 
by Kari Trumbo


Trace has seen it all . . . except success and love.

He's done the training. He's tried to fit in. He even had to watch the woman he loves marry another man. Sometimes life isn't fair. When he completes his training, it seems like things might turn around, until his boss finds out Trace went behind his back to get an endorsement from someone else. Now, his new career is at risk. One job. That's all he gets to prove himself.

Lupe Pena is hiding in plain sight from her father. He's threatened her multiple times and now, he wants to marry her off to a man in El Salvador, just to be rid of her. All she can figure is that she reminds him too much of her mother, who died in childbirth. Life hasn't been easy, but she will not leave the only home she's ever known so he can be comfortable.

When she hires the Northern Guardians, she isn't sure about the young man they assign to her. He's only three years older than her and has a temper like her father. But he channels it for good, not evil. Can she learn to trust him, and can he manage the anger that seems to take over when things don't go right? Or will Lupe's father succeed in sending her far away where he doesn't have to think about her anymore?

If you're looking for a story of transformation, love and forgiveness through the love of Christ (all wrapped in a heart-pounding suspense), read on!

WHAT'S HOT in Inspirational Mystery and Suspense

Marji Laine here. 

I've noticed a number of books by these authors coming out every few weeks, so I'm not sure if they are actually first time releases, but I am intrigued. 

Thin Red Line (Heroes of Glory) 
by Kayla Lowe



The bravest battle is the one within.

Marcus “Mac” Castillo has faced death in war zones and on the streets of Glory—but nothing prepared him for the darkness creeping into the city’s homes. ER nurse Grace Llewellyn has lost her faith and her sense of safety, until she meets Mac. Together, they navigate trauma, corruption, and the weight of life-and-death decisions. Can they survive the night—and learn to trust in God and each other?

A gritty, emotional Christian suspense romance about brokenness, faith, and finding love in the chaos.

WHAT'S HOT in Inspirational Mystery and Suspense

 Marji Laine here and I'm thrilled to introduce yet another book from one of our amazing Suspense Sisters!

This one is THE ESCAPE GAME by Gina Holder. It is described as "A Deadly Game of Survival" and is the second book in The Game Masters series. 

About the book, Gina says, "Something neat about this book is that the setting was based on two real-life historical homes: The Winchester Mystery House in California and the James J. Hill House in Saint Paul, MN." 


Twenty years ago, the world’s leading enigmatologist disappeared, leaving behind a cipher no one could solve… not without his journal.

Puzzle shop owner Demi Kayne has spent twenty years hoping her father would return home. When she discovers his hidden journal tucked inside the walls of her family home, she finally uncovers the clue she’s been waiting for—but it leads somewhere far more dangerous than she imagined.

Liam Shepherd, a missionary and escape-room enthusiast, is searching for answers of his own. His sister has vanished without a trace, and the trail of clues leads him straight to Demi—and the secrets hidden in her father’s journal.

Their search brings them to the eerie Ives Mansion, where its brilliant and reclusive owner has designed a deadly challenge. Once inside, Demi and Liam realize they’re no longer guests.

They’re players.

Trapped inside a twisted real-life mystery game based on a stolen puzzle design, they must solve a series of lethal riddles before time runs out. Each puzzle brings them closer to the truth about Demi’s missing father and Liam’s sister—but also closer to a killer who has spent years perfecting a game no one survives.

With the clock ticking and lives hanging in the balance, Demi and Liam must confront their fears, their pasts, and the faith that may be their only hope of escape.

In this gripping Christian suspense novel, every clue matters—and every mistake could be fatal.

Can Demi and Liam solve the final puzzle before the game ends…or will the escape room become their tomb?

Perfect for fans of Lynette Eason, Dani Pettrey, and Irene Hannon who enjoy puzzle-driven Christian suspense filled with danger, secrets, and faith under fire.
