Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Arson. Theft. Murder. When Bree Nicholls discovers a corpse in her own basement, a whirlwind investigation ushers an unbidden danger to all she holds dear. Without safe haven in her lighthouse home--or in the arms of a new love--the young widow struggles to free her family from the tentacles of an age-old crime that strikes at the heart of Rock Harbor.


My Review:
Beyond a Doubt is a Christian suspense novel with some romance. It's the second of several stories about Bree, but it works as a stand-alone novel. The main characters were complex, well-developed, and reacted realistically to events. Bree's now helping people train their dogs in search and rescue. The mystery partly involved Kade's younger sister getting into trouble but trying to make things right even if she doesn't like the consequences. Several people found clues to an old murder (and newer ones) and passed that information on to authorities. Bree continued to get to know and admire Kade, but some misunderstandings, mistrust, and stress threatened their relationship. I like that their relationship develops over several books rather than is 'instant perfection' like in many Christian romances, but it's left in doubt at the end of this book which may leave the story feeling unresolved.

Bree's a new believer in Christ and struggled to understand things like bad things happening to faithful Christian believers. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable mystery/suspense novel.
