I loved the emotions evoked by different characters. Mehl uses ordinary, every day characters in her suspense novels, making them appealing and believable. What a satisfying story Nancy Mehl has penned in Deadly Echoes, book 2 of the Finding Sanctuary series! The book stands well by itself I haven't read book 1, but had no trouble following the plot line and characters. Thanks Nancy Mehl for another great suspense novel.I would like to thank NetGalley and Bethany House for allowing me to read and review this book in return for a free copy and I was never asked to write a favorable review by anyone. It was a dawning of realizing and tying together the letter that Hannah sent Sarah and the unraveling of this mystery. There were some surprises that I did not see coming and that made this story unique. The murder of Hannah and how this murder was linked to the girls past.

Paul's concern encourages Sarah's growing feelings for him, but as their investigation peels back the layers of lies almost twenty years old, they get close to uncovering the truth one person will do anything to hide-even if that means coming after the last remaining members of the Miller family.Review: Great sequel!! I loved the sense of community that Nancy Mehl creates in her stories. Sarah enlists Paul's help in digging deeper into the murders the police are dismissing as burglaries gone wrong. As she learns more about Hannah's death, the circumstances are eerily similar to their parents' murder.

Sarah's joy at her recent reunion with her sister, Hannah, and meeting the niece she didn't know she had is too soon interrupted when Deputy Sheriff Paul Gleason informs Sarah her sister has been killed. She happily calls Sanctuary her home and spends her days teaching at the local school. He loves his fruit farm, and he loves Harmony.Deadly EchoesNancy MehlBook Summary: After a youth filled with tragedy and upheaval, Sarah Miller's life is finally settled with all echoes of the past silent at last.
