Cooper Lee and her friends in the Hope Street Bible Study Group are enjoying a glorious summer day in the park, complete with a picnic, hiking, swimming, and a local bluegrass band. But Cooper knows that no good day goes unpunished, and when a man turns up dead in the nearby woods - and the sister of Cooper's fiancé is named as the prime suspect - the group may have to trade in their prayers of thanks for pleas of divine intervention.

Cooper knows her future sister-in-law is innocent, so when the police arrest her for the murder, the Bible study group must step in to catch the real killer and prevent a grave injustice. Following a twisted trail of clues that leads to a hit-and-run driver, a homeless veteran, and a park full of suspects who may hold more secrets than solutions, Cooper must hold firm to her spiritual convictions, before an innocent woman faces a conviction of a more earthly nature.

This is one of the best mystery series created. I love the way the story combines religion, human relationships and murder. This is really a good series. I wish I could find a bible study group like this.

Very Entertaining

Out for a picnic and some music, the Sunrise Bible Study Group, runs into Christine, Nathan's sister, who is with her co-workers and boss from Sphinx Digital Systems and Solutions on a bonding and fitness outing . . . after a day of hiking and food, they are ready to settle down for the bluegrass concert, when Cooper and Nathan take a break for a private stroll in the woods . . . nearly running into a distraught and screaming Christine . . . and discovering a bloody, dead Sinclair Gordon, the owner of Sphinx Digital Systems . . . this fifth in the series is just as good as the rest . . . the friends unite to help clear Christine of the murder and in the process befriend, Danny, a veteran who was mowed down by a car and down on his luck . . . I always enjoy the tales of Cooper's family, her mom, dad and grammy . . . who are always up to something . . . as well as her sister, Ashley and her family . . . I also love that the stories take place in Richmond, Virginia, where our son lives . . . the staff at Make it Work (Cooper's work place) also keep me entertained, especially in this installment . . . as the investigation of the death of Sinclair progresses, Police Investigator McNamara's once cold heart towards the Bible Study Group finally seems to melt a bit . . . and book five concludes with great resolutions both in the murder case and on the personal front for Cooper and Nathan . . . I sure do hope there will be a Book Six . . .

It’s time that Bible principles were written into a mystery series. I enjoyed the character development.

Liked the complete series.

The first 4 books were written many years ago & just recently republished. This 5th book is new as of 2016. I liked how they brought in modern elements like a fit bit to help "solve" some aspects of the crime. That hint of modern technology really brought it up to this day and age. I enjoyed how this book included a lot of other characters, and especially that Grammy had more book time. She is my favorite, she is so sassy and wise!
Cooper however, is getting a bit annoying as a main character. She complains about absolutely everything imaginable. When faced with a choice to move with Nathan for a job it becomes a long drug out story through the whole book. In the real world plenty of 30-somethings live away from their parents, and it's not a big deal. But oh man, its a point of contention from the first few chapters until the end, and Cooper often acts like shes a teenager instead of an adult. I could do without some of the useless melodrama, but luckily the supporting cast is so enjoyable that it was okay.
I am looking forward to seeing what happens in book 6!

A great new 5th book!
