About the Book
Book: Fateful Fall
Author: Erin Unger
Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense
Release Date: August 9, 2019
Private Investigator Ava Worthington and her partners head to the mountains to solve the death of a farmer’s son who was discovered murdered in an outhouse on the property. Without local cowboy Cory’s protection, Ava won’t get the chance to follow leads as the killer tries to stop her investigation. But Ava’s falling for Cory against her better judgment. She should be working and not pining after a cowboy. And Cory doesn’t want a relationship. His successful career was destroyed by a woman he trusted, and he won’t make the same mistake twice.
One suspect after another is cleared from Ava’s list until she’s sure she has the real killer targeted in her sights, but he’s hunting her, too. How will Ava and Cory find the killer and admit their love before they are buried under a mountain of secrets?

Fateful Fall by Erin Unger
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
First of all, this is a mystery, and it is Christian. There is nothing offensive in it, and it would appeal to anyone who enjoys a mystery/suspense novel. It is rare to find mystery novels that so expertly weave in Christian elements, and the author nailed it in this one. More than once, the characters were turning to God to ask for help and to keep them safe. For that reason alone, I chose to give this book a 4-star rating.
However, I can’t say I was overly invested in the characters. I see that this is the first book in a series, and oftentimes, when that is the case, the first book tends to be slow. And this was was not the most exciting of this genre that I had read. I did appreciate that she switched back and forth between the different perspectives, but I found I didn’t care very much about the characters, and I wasn’t too excited about “whodunnit.” However, because this was the first book in the series, I am definitely willing to jump into the second book because more often than not, since the first book has to establish the characters, subsequent books are much more involving.
What I will say is that young adults will probably particularly enjoy this story since it seems geared a little more towards that age range. I do believe this is an author to watch in the genre of Christian mysteries, and I will keep my eye open for her in the future.
About the Author
Erin Unger was raised in the hills of Virginia, exploring abandoned houses and reading the scariest books she could find. After marrying so young it would make a great romance novel, she has enjoyed an exciting life with her hubby. But her fast-paced life sometimes rivals the suspense in her books thanks to all her mostly grown children and a couple grandkids.

Christian suspense is a genre I really enjoy. Yes, sometimes the characters are hard to connect with in the first book of a series. Maybe the following books will delve deeper. Thanks for sharing your honest review with us.
