Breakers Reef Cape Refuge No 4 Editorial Reviews
Source: Product Description
Murder and mystery continue in Book Four of the Cape Refuge series A famous mystery writer has just moved to Cape Refuge when a teenage girl is found murdered. Sheila Caruso--ex-con, mother to Sadie and Caleb, and resident of Hanover House--is working for the writer when she discovers that a scene in one of his novels matches the crime scene. When Police Chief Cade and Blair Owens discover a second dead teenager--mirroring a murder in another of the eccentric writer's books--Cade is drawn into a web of trickery and deceit. Evidence turns up in Cade's own truck, and suddenly he becomes the number-one suspect. Cade tries to clear his name, but when eighteen-year-old Sadie Caruso disappears, tensions mount to a fever pitch. Can Cade find the real killer before Sadie winds up dead? Is the novelist a demented killer, or a hapless victim? And what does Sadie's own mother have to do with the crimes? Secrets are uncovered, while lessons are learned about the sins of the father being visited upon his children. Will the consequences of Sheila's life be fatal, or is there redemption and mercy for her and her children? 'Chief Matthew Cade rarely considered another line of work, but news of the dead teenage girl made him long for a job as an accountant or electrician---some benign vocation that didn't require him to look into the eyes of grieving parents.'

Terri Blackstock you did it again!! Just when you think a writer has reached a climax in tallent. Terri just shocked me again. This book was so good I could not put it down for a second. What a close to a series. To bad this is it. Her character development was incredible, the story weaves so perfectly. Without giving any of the story away. I would suggest read the books before this. As for this book all I can say is "WOW"!!! A must read!!!

As noted in my earlier review of "River's Edge" (see below)--Terri Blackstock's third installment of her "Cape Refuge" series--it seemed that she had reached her pinnacle.
But 'lo and behold' I stand corrected! Ms. Blackstock's final volume of this series, "Breaker's Reef," once again exceeds even her own fine work. Within the context of a strong Christian message, her ability to write extraordinary mysteries is as good as any secular author... and better than most!
"River's Edge," the third entry in the four-volume "Cape Refuge" series by Terri Blackstock, is yet another example that this unique author somehow continues to improve with each book. This is especially impressive considering that all of Ms. Blackstock's novels are outstanding. Her superb writing style; her creative plots of mystery, and compelling insight into human relations; her ability to integrate, so skillfully, her strong convictions in the Christian faith... all of these attributes, and more, make her works special. Very special. --RON HOWE (a.k.a. Toby Martin II)

This was a great read full of suspense, a little romance(but not to racey) and great encouragement for those that have made mistakes in life. And havn't we all!! Highly reccommend this as well as the other previous books in this series. Helps to read in order but not necessary..

This forth and final book in the Cape Refuge series is by far the best! Talk about on-the-edge-of-your-seat! It was difficult to put this gripping story down. It begins with our dear Chief of Police, Matthew Cade, being awaken at 4:30 a.m. Scott Crown, the newest addition to the small Cape Refuge Police Force, has found a young resident of the island dead in a boat.
Even though the boat was not in his jurisdiction, Scott pulled the body out and back to shore, possibly destroying evidence. Being a bit of a lose cannon Cade has trouble reeling in this nineteen-year-old rookie. However, that is the least of his problems.
A famous mystery writer has moved to the island to do some writing. He's a little eccentric to say the least. Could he possibly be behind the murder? Sheila Caruso, an ex-con and resident of Hanover House is trying to turn her life around. She gets a job with the mystery writer and finds a murder scene in one of his books which matches the recent murder.
When another young girl is discovered dead by Cade and Blair Owens, his soon-to-be-fiancée, suspicion turns to Cade. The evidence found a bit later in his truck doesn't help to clear him.
Sadie, Sheila Caruso daughter, becomes involved in finding the missing girl who was with the recently murdered girl. Why does young Sadie feel she has a stake in finding this girl?
Matt Frazier is the first person Sadie met when she came to Cape Refuge and has become a friend to her. He's also very interested in locating the missing girl, but is he really a friend? Scott Crown has also befriended Sadie and is also helping. It's obvious Scott and Matt are not friends and both are competing for Sadie's attention, but could one of them be the killer's accomplice?
With everything else going on there is good news. Jonathon and Morgan are expecting their first child, but will the stress of the situation be to much for Morgan? After all, she did miscarry just last year. When Sadie turns up missing, soon followed by her mother, will they be found before it's too late?
This is a great read and it's extremely difficult to put down. I'm sorry it's the last of the series. This series is a must-read!! Well done Ms Blackstock.
PS It's interesting two discrepancies, one very early in the story, got missed by the editor.
