Fast-Paced Suspense


Fear Has a Name by Creston Mapes

Jack and Pamela Crittendon’s idyllic life is shattered when an intruder breaks in and then begins to stalk them.  He takes their wedding picture and cuts out Jack’s picture.   He plants pornography on Jack’s computer and tries to have Jack put in prison.  Finally Pamela realizes who the stalker is and what he wants.  Meanwhile, Jack, a newspaper reporter is covering a story of a missing pastor.  As he continues to investigate this story, he uncovers facts that point to something sinister happening at the church.  While he investigates his story, Pamela disappears.  Jack will stop at nothing to find her, but can he find her in time?

Creston Mapes’ book is aptly named.  His story plays on fears common to many of us.  I found myself identifying with Pamela, Jack, Evan and Wendy and their problems.  Their Christian faith is a stronghold for them in times of trouble, but they struggle with life’s trials like the rest of us.  Because the story had 3 or even 4 story lines running concurrently, the book kept my attention.  The writing flows and carries the reader along.  I would recommend this book for readers who enjoy suspense.  I received a free copy of this digital book from the publisher and this is my honest review.
