Her best friend is murdered the same way her brother was years ago. Is there anyone she can possibly trust? A decade ago, Delaney Broward discovered her brother's murdered body at the San Antonio art co-op he founded with friends. Her artist boyfriend, Hunter Nash, went to prison for the murder, despite his not-guilty plea. This morning, Hunter walks out of prison a free man, having served his sentence. This afternoon, Delaney finds her best friend dead, murdered in the same fashion as her brother. Stay out of it or you're next, the killer warns. Hunter never stopped loving Delaney, though he can't blame her for not forgiving her. He knows he'll get his life back one day at a time, one step at a time. But he's blindsided to realize he's a murder suspect. Again. When Hunter shows up on her doorstep asking her to help him find the real killer, Delaney's head says to run away, yet her heart tells her there's more to his story than what came out in the trial. An uneasy truce leads to their probe into a dark past that shatters Delaney's image of her brother. She can't stop and neither can Hunter--which lands them both in the crosshairs of a murderer growing more desperate by the hour. In this gripping romantic suspense, Kelly Irvin plumbs the complexity of broken trust in the people we love--and in God--and whether either can be mended.

Trust Me by Kelly Irvin is a Christian suspense novel. I enjoy reading Kelly Irvin�s Amish novels so I thought I would give her new suspense novel a try (I love solving mysteries). I started reading Trust Me and became intrigued by the murder at the beginning involving Ellie. The story then became a little too wordy and it moved at a sluggish pace. The book needed a faster pace that would have kept up the tension and suspense that would have kept the reader on the edge of their seat. Instead, Trust Me failed to hold my attention. I thought the characters lacked development. They came across flat. I felt that the romance between Delaney and Hunter eclipsed the mystery. I wanted more suspense (and mystery) and less about feelings. Romance lovers, though, will enjoy it. The mystery involves two crimes that occurred ten years apart. They are similar to each other. There are evident clues that will help the reader solve the crime early in the book. I kept hoping there would be a twist so I would be surprised by the reveal. Unfortunately, the whodunit played out just as I thought it would. Trust Me is a Christian novel so there are references to God, faith, and prayer. I like how faith was incorporated into the story. The author captured the setting of San Antonio. She brought the city to life with her vivid descriptions. Trust Me needed a little more oomph. Readers who enjoy romantic suspense (emphasis on romantic) will enjoy reading Trust Me. Trust Me transports readers to San Antonio with a paroled prisoner, a confusing crime, a stricken sister, a determined detective, seedy San Antonio, and a second chance romance.
