Welcome to the Takeover + Review Blitz for The Vanished by Cara Putman hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
Title: The Vanished
Series: Secrets to Keep #1
Author: Cara Putman
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Release Date: April 16, 2024
Genre: Christian Mystery & Suspense
Janae Simmons left the small town of Kedgewick, Virginia, ten years ago to pursue her legal career and never looked back--until a professional mistake leads her to her grandmother's historic carriage house and to the town where her past threatens to find her. The quiet streets echo with her grandfather's sterling reputation, one that conflicts with fresh questions that claw at Janae, launching her on a reluctant journey to unearth his secrets. When her new job at a local law firm doesn't live up to expectations, she wonders if coming home was the right decision.
Carter Montgomery starts his art preservation career with the only job he can get--director at the Elliott Museum of Art. At least Kedgewick is a nice enough town to provide him and his nephew with a safe place to grieve the loss of Carter's sister. But Carter's calm days disappear when an elderly woman claims two paintings in the museum's collection were stolen from her family during World War II.
Carter enlists Janae's help to unravel the legal labyrinth of art ownership, and the peaceful facade of Kedgewick morphs into a hot bed of secrets. When an attorney turns up dead and Janae uncovers another painting, what began as a simple legal issue spirals into a race against time. As the web of intrigue tightens, the duo must confront a looming question: What dark truths lie beneath the surface, waiting to be exposed?
"Putman's legal expertise shines in this compelling and intricately plotted romantic suspense. Highly recommended!"
--Colleen Coble, USA Today best-selling author
"Cara Putman has once again created an exciting cast of characters. I was immediately drawn in by Janae and Carter's unique chemistry. This is one story you don't want to miss."
--Rebecca Hemlock, award-winning author of Fury in the Shadows
I got into Christian Mystery and Suspense books a couple years ago, after not wanting to read them for many years. The Vanished by Cara Putman is the most recent book that I have read in this genre.
The storyline quickly got my attention. I really like that it is focused on the Stolen Art and WWII. The main characters, Janae and Carter, really make the story intriguing. Carter hires the legal services of Janae when an elderly woman claims a couple pieces of Art in the Museum he manages belong to her. I really enjoyed seeing them get attracted to one another as they began working together to solve the Art Theft Mystery. The storyline had many twists and turns it and certainly made the book intriguing and on the edge of my seat. The author researched the time period and history very well. I HIGHLY recommend this book for anyone who likes Christian Mystery! GREAT BOOK!
