Book Review: Vanished. By Barbara Derksen

Vanished by Barbara Derksen  has been my latest read and I was very sorry to see the last page.

“Vanished” is definitely a suspense novel in my book. From the very first page, where a young family is forced to leave their little home and go with kidnappers at gun point, I was hooked.

Brian Strait and Andrea Wilton both arrive at their friend’s house around the same time, and are very concerned at the disheveled look of the ordinarily tidy little house and the very apparent absence of it’s occupants.When a neighbor is murdered, a house burns to the ground and the police seem to be of no help, Brian and Andrea take matters into their own hands.

Following a clue from the murdered neighbor, they pack up and head to Haiti. A land of voodoo and the absence of a savior.   The discovery that people are disappearing from there as well, tell them they are on the right track.  How will Brian and Andrea find their friends? Are they even still alive? How about the fact that Brian and Andrea themselves are being watched constantly?

Both Brian and Andrea try to live by WWJD -What Would Jesus Do? and are convinced that He would not carry a fire arm or any sort of dangerous weapon, and yet their own lives are in danger. As they search for clues and struggle to make sense of what they are learning, Brian and Andrea find themselves relying more than ever on the Lord for strength and protection. While their relationship with each other goes from years of mutual dislike to a new-found respect and friendship.

I was certainly sorry to reach the last page, as I felt the story wasn’t complete and there were parts that I felt weren’t wrapped up quite the way I wanted them to be. However, the good news is that Barbara is working on a sequel to Vanished and I cannot wait for it to come out!

Also, her book is available on Amazon for your Kindle and it’s only 3.99! If you enjoy suspense novels with a slight touch of romance and written from a Christian viewpoint, I know you will enjoy this book.
