Genre: Adult, Mystery, Thriller

Blurb:

The fourth installment in the Kirkus Reviews, National Indie Excellence Awards and Publishers Weekly award-winning series by USA Today Best-selling Author, J. J. Cagney:

The first victim rolls out of a rain barrel.

Soon, Cici Gurule dreams of other women’s attacks, thanks to visions from her dead twin. The victims’ watery graves torment Cici, feeding her growing fear of water.

The killer targets Cici’s congregants and friends, taunting her and her lover, Detective Sam Chastain. Sam partners with the SFPD to investigate the widening web of assault, death, and pain... all while Cici struggles with the choices she made in Chaco Canyon.

When the killer lures a teen girl from her family, Cici and Sam’s desperation to identify him becomes critical. But the clues, from the disappearance of Sam’s ex-lover, to a cat with a chilling message for Cici, are leading them further from the truth, rather than toward saving the kidnapped girl.



My Review:

A Revelation of Death is an intense read that kept me glued to my seat with wanting to know who was killing these people and why. It starts out with a bang and never lets up from front to back. I just love Cici, Sam and her dogs. I can just see Cici trying to walk these dogs. Yeah well Cici is letting Sam have that pleasure at the moment as she broke her leg when she was on vacation.

Cici is having dreams about women who are drowning. Cici gets these dreams or visions from her dead twin sister Aci. Aci helps Cici and Sam solve murder cases. This killer is attacking Cici’s congregation. Cici and Sam hopes to catch the killer before he kills again. Can Cici and Sam find the identity of the killer? Will they solve the case before it is too late?


I have read all of the Reverend Cici Gurule Mysteries novels and loved each and every one of them and would recommend each book to anyone who loves a great mystery story.  Each story was so much better than its predecessor. Each story has its share of suspense and mystery with more than enough twists and turns to keep the pages turning.
