Threads of Suspicion

I'm new to Dee Henderson and this first book, Threads of Suspicion" was enjoyable. It's a crime mystery and the second book in a series called "An Evie Blackwell Cold Case." The story focuses on Evie Blackwell and her new partner David Marshal as they work two seemingly unrelated missing persons cold cases. There's some nice twists and it's a clean story. 

Here's what I liked: it's clean. No sex or language or details of gore. The characters have faith relationship with Jesus and encourage each other. The story moved along and there were some good twists. The characters were likable and I was drawn in  pretty quickly. 

Here's what I didn't like: it felt formulaic. A little too much telling about and not enough showing us what was happening. It was written third person which makes it hard to really get into the characters. I liked them but I didn't feel I knew them. Subplots came and went and didn't connect or end sensibly. There were some annoying and distracting grammatical errors and date issues. The timeline didn't stay in tact.

But, overall, I liked the book and will suggest it to my book club.
