Fatal Deduction – Gayle Roper

Description

Fatal Deduction by Gayle Roper is a faith-infused suspense novel that weaves family drama, romance, and mystery together with a clever puzzle at its heart.

Libby Burton and her estranged twin sister, Tori, are forced to share their late Aunt Stella’s old Philadelphia home to claim their inheritance. Libby dreams of repairing their strained relationship, but from the start, things unravel — especially when a cryptic crossword puzzle arrives, warning of danger, delivered by a man who’s soon found dead.

As more riddles appear, secrets surface: a stolen diamond, a botched kidnapping, and a web of jealousy and deceit. Libby’s only solace is neighbor Drew Canfield, a kind yet cautious man wary of new attachments after his own past heartaches.

For readers who enjoy romantic suspense with a gentle Christian thread and a touch of classic whodunit flair, Fatal Deduction offers page-turning tension alongside themes of forgiveness, family, and second chances.
