STARS: *****
A scheming woman.
A man she can’t fathom.
A mystery that endangers her career.
Is this how God answers Lindsey’s prayers?
Lindsey Dumont, photographer, travels to the rugged coast of Washington's Olympic Peninsula to finish her photo essay on a rare breed of Makah dogs. But disaster looms for her project, and she decides to fight back. Now she must confront the man who deceived her and unravel a threatening mystery.
Three things enticed me to read this book: the beautifully mysterious cover, the setting (my birth state), and the hints of suspense in the book description. I’m so glad I did! Rarely have I read a story that stirred me as much as Deep Focus. At a time when purpose eludes me, Lindsey Dumont’s search for answers became my own.
Faith is not a mere inclusion in this story; it’s the pulse behind every plot line, every page. I appreciated the liberal use of God’s word to direct, correct and lovingly encourage.
Each of the characters in Deep Focus is multi-dimensional, some menacing, some quirky, and others immensely appealing. Gloria Repp draws them so clearly, I feel as though I would recognize any of them on the street. And the setting—gloriously rugged, it’s a character in itself.
I received this book through a special offer and highly recommend it. Intriguing characters and incredibly layered secrets earn Deep Focus five stars.
