Brill Jessup becomes the first female police chief in Sophie Trace, Tennessee, and soon faces a series of bizarre disappearances that sends chills through the townspeople.
Brill's investigation runs headlong into a nineteenth century legend that claims the "Red Shadows" the spirits if the Cherokee who were driven from the land, roam the countryside and wreak havoc on the decedents of those who settled there. Brill thinks it's absurd but soon discovers that the people who grew up with the legend are convinced the authorities are withholding the truth. The media can't get enough of the story, and panic sets in when new facts seem to support the story.
Brill uses the case to avoid dealing with her husband, Kurt's affair. She's never going to forgive him. So why can't she just end it?
As the case heats up, so does Brill's anger. Based on Romans 12:21 "Do not be overcome with evil, but overcome evil with good," the real enemy may be closer than she thinks.
The Real Enemy by Kathy Herman is a heartwarming novel that will capture your attention in every way. Not only is this book about a mystery but it’s also about a broken marriage which in time causes a broken family. Brill Jessup has to deal with a lot of things in this story, and Kathy Herman writes it well. Kathy brings up many situations in this story, some that are mysterious outwardly and others that go way deep into the character’s hearts and lives. This is the first book I’ve read from Kathy Herman, not being a very big reader of mysteries, but truthfully this book left me wanting more. I can tell you that I will definitely be picking the second book at the bookstore, the sooner the better. Kathy Herman did an amazing job writing this story, the details in depth and the feelings of the characters even more so. I would definitely recommend this book to my readers. The Real Enemy definitely has the potential to be a best seller!
Have an amazing Thanksgiving!
