Charles Martin recommends

What We Hide (2024)
(Tupelo Grove, book 1)
Rick Acker and Colleen Coble
"Coble and Ackerman have forged a seamless partnership with a singular voice. I honestly can't tell where one writer starts and the other ends. WHAT WE HIDE is a crisp and hard-charging start to a legal suspense series that tests the boundaries of yesterday's secrets against today's lies, all while trying to escape tomorrow's verdict. From courtroom to the shadow of a decaying Gothic university, it's a high-stakes ride through love, second chances and an ending you won't soon forget."

The Prayer Box (2013)
(Carolina Chronicles , book 1)
Lisa Wingate
"Tenderly woven. Skillfully threaded. A grab-your-heart story."
