I highly recommend anything by Creston Mapes. He is able to make the action believable and related well to real life.

★★★★★ This is a very good Christian suspenseful book! I've loved everything by Creston Mapes so far but this is my favorite so far. Even though you know who the bad guy is you just can't fantom what he's going to do next.

It's very unpredictable and you can't imagine who's going to live or die. I couldn't put it down and it has to be very suspenseful for a book to do that to me.

Good job Creston Mapes and I can't wait to see what you'll come up with next!. .
