*Update* I enjoyed this book the most out of the series so far in this reread for all the reasons written below. This book survives round two of the purge from my personal collection.

For once in the series, Henderson wrapped up the plot in a believable manner with the culprit being a character that had been mentioned before and more than just in passing. The actual scenario too made sense without being too unbelievable. This definitely bumps this particular book up to number #2 in my ranking of the books in the series.
I really loved Rachel and Henderson's descriptions of Rachel's struggles as a new Christian facing the death of her sister. Finishing this book on the one year anniversary of my own aunt's death after a long battle with cancer was definitely not a coincidence.
Some of the plot points in the book do require a little stretching of believability but that's present in all fiction.
I really enjoyed this book and continue to enjoy the series, only one more left to reread. I definitely still continue to recommend the series.
