A special thank you to Julie Cave, for providing a copy of The Shadowed Mind for me to review.
The Book:
A suspense-filled mystery which answers an ominous question:
Who will be found worthy to live; who is the next victim?
After the deadly investigation into the Smithsonian murders, Dinah Harris is now facing a daily battle to keep her sobriety while struggling to form a new career from the ashes of her former job as an FBI agent. From the shadows will emerge a cunning and terrifying killer, who carefully and methodically will decide whose life has value to society and whose does not.
Using her profiling and security skills as a private consultant based in Washington, DC, Dinah uncovers a connection to the shadowy world of neo-eugenics, and those who publicly denounce the killings but privately support a much different view.
Against this backdrop, Dinah must come to terms with her own past, as those associated with the deepening mystery face their own personal demons, and struggle with the concept of God's inexhaustible grace and forgiveness. Old secrets are revealed, tragedies unearthed, and the devastating legacy of science without compassion is finally brought to light.
The second in a powerful new fiction trilogy!

The Author:
Julie Cave first heard a creation science speaker at her church when she was just 15, igniting her interest in creation science and sparking an enthusiasm for defending the Bible's account of creation. She has obtained a degree in health science, and is currently completing a degree in law. Julie is married with one daughter and lives on the east coast of Australia.My Take:
Another gripping mystery by Julie Cave, The Shadowed Mind does not disappoint. Following on from her investigation of the Smithsonian murders, Dinah Harris is called on as a private consultant to help solve another string of grisly murders while dealing with the repercussions from her last case. The topic of neo-eugenics features heavily in this book and I found that though disturbing, it was certainly eye-opening to learn about a topic that isn't much discussed anymore. Cave also touches on euthanasia, a controversial topic that is certainly current in today's society. The book is well researched and I really appreciated the Christian principles resounding throughout the book while dealing with such controversial issues. A gripping mystery, a thrilling ride and a topical eye-opener, The Shadowed Mind ticks all the right boxes!Other Resources:
