Review: Inescapable

As an eighteen year old unwed mother, Lizzie Engel fled her Mennonite hometown and her harsh, disapproving father.  Five years later, unemployed and terrorized by threatening letters, Lizzie finds herself running back to Kingdom, Kansas.  Just as she begins to feel safe, a letter arrives . . . and Lizzie realizes that there is nowhere left to run.

Nancy Mehl's Inescapable (Bethany House Publishers, 2012) is a fun mystery romance that makes the most of its unusual setting (a small Mennonite town).  The mystery aspect of the plot is really well done; Mehl kept me guessing.  In the beginning, Lizzie is a little whiny, but she grows as a character as the story progresses.  Overall, Inescapable is an entertaining read, and I recommend it to for fans of Christian fiction.

Sounded interesting until I got to the part about Christian literature. Sorry, but that's not my religion. The quilt, however, is pretty. Thanks for your visit.
