The book I just breezed through, titled 'The Pastor's Dilemma' by K P Gresham, kept me hooked. The citizens of Wilks, Texas, are fascinating. Pastor Matt Hayden is a key character in the story and the Witness Protection Program. He is in a dilemma as he needs to testify against his old boss in the Miami police department. However, he suddenly begins to wonder if he has been found by his old nemesis because someone who looks like him is murdered in the church where Matt serves.

When Angie O'Day returns from Ireland, she and Matt discuss their feelings. The author's strength in character development shines through, making the characters so believable and complex. This skill is particularly appreciated by her readers. This second helping of Matt Hayden was just as good as the first, a testament to the author's ability to create compelling characters.
