3.5 stars

What I liked:
*The friendship between John and Chief Kelly that has endured through many things and over many years.
*That the Averys and the Kellys persisted in trying to pull John into friendships even though he seems resistant.
*That Finn prays (and reads her Bible) and that she talks to John about faith (as does her brother Ryan)

What I didn't like:
*How Finn was treated at work. Quite a few chauvinists on the police force--even the one she thought she could trust.
*How they found John's sister wasn't very realistic. Can God bring long lost siblings together that way? Sure. But it's rare that it happens this way in real life, so it seemed a bit deus ex machina. (That said, I never thought of the possibility she could be his sister even knowing her name prior to her becoming a character in the book.) ( )
