‘What Happens Next’ by Christina Suzann Nelson

**About The Book**
Popular podcaster and ex-reporter Faith Byrne has made a name for herself telling stories of greatness after tragedy–but her real life does not mirror the stories she tells. While her daughters spend the summer in Hawaii with her ex-husband and his new wife, she must manage life on her own. But all that changes when she’s asked to spotlight her childhood best friend’s missing person case on her podcast.

Dora Crane has never accepted that her younger daughter could be dead, keeping her home looking the same as when her daughter disappeared. But when her husband leaves her, and her older daughter intervenes, she agrees to counseling and to pack up her missing daughter’s belongings under one condition: Faith Byrne comes to Deep Valley and sheds light on the cold case.

As the investigation moves forward, the two women uncover desperate secrets, and Faith and Dora must face the long-hidden truth before they can begin to move forward.

Award-winning author Christina Suzann Nelson masterfully leads readers on a journey of discovery, healing, and friendship in this suspenseful and poignant tale.

This one drew me in completely from the beginning. I love it when I book does that. From then on, my attention did not waver. I desperately wanted to look at the ending first to find out what happened to Heather, but I managed to restrain myself. Well written with a really good plot, this one will be one for the keeper shelf.

My thanks to the Revell Reads program for a copy of this book. The opinion in this review is my own.
