Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Former Army Night Stalker Rick Jordan usually has his camp for foster children to himself during the winter months. But someone has visited recently--leaving a trail of blood. One of the two clues left behind tips Rick off to the identity of his visitor, who is missing and may be on the run from danger. Rick hires private investigator Heather Shields to find the missing man and help him decipher the remaining clue. Except someone doesn't want them to succeed--and will stop at nothing to keep them from finding the truth.


My Review:
Dark Ambitions is a Christian romantic suspense novel. It's the third book in a series, but it also works as a stand-alone novel.

The main characters were likable and acted in realistic ways. Ex-police officer Heather was an engaging character and capable investigator. Rick admired her ability and was attracted to her, so he often came along to help with the investigation. The suspense came from the danger to anyone who might know a secret that whodunit wanted kept silent. Three people with slightly different motives were "bad guy" point of view characters, so we know why people are being murdered: a man who is running for political office has a secret in his past that would ruin his chances. But we still must guess who is behind the murders.

We mainly saw the character's Christian faith through how they treated people and what they cared about. There were no sex scenes or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable novel.
