Patricia H. Rushford continues the "Angel Delaney" series with another fast-paced and faith-filled story!
Luke Delaney dropped out of sight six years ago. He had been implicated in a double murder, but Angel never thought he was guilty. As the family gathers for the funeral of Angel and Luke's father, one of the mourners seemed uncomfortably out of place. Although he vaguely resembled Luke, Angel held her investigative instincts in check until she could pursue things at a more appropriate time. Yet, when Angel starts asking questions, people start dying. There's more to Luke's disappearance than meets the eye.
Written with the perfect touch of mystery and mayhem, this book delivers a strong story with emotional appeal. Readers may be familiar with the Delaney family from previous novels, although this story can be read independently. The investigation into Luke's disappearance proceeds with the intricacies of police procedure and the passion of personal feelings. Danger and deceit stalk these pages, as Angel desperately searches for the truth.
The latter half of the book explodes with surprises and suspense! Readers will hold their breath as Angel gets deeper into the mystery. There will be a few gasps and groans as the fate of several characters comes into question. Yet, the Christian worldview quietly gives this book a calm assurance in the midst of some major difficulties. The author is to be commended for a subtle, yet stalwart presentation of Christianity in everyday life.
As Good as Dead is a great book from a talented writer. -- Joyce Handzo, Christian Book Previews.com

Six years ago, Luke Delaney was forced to put himself into his own form of witness protection following a hitman's moment of compassion. Yet, when his father dies, he feels the need to risk it all to come home. Though he his careful, observing at a distance, he is spotted by people who will kill him. Suddenly, all of Luke's family and friends are plunged into danger that has lain dormant for six years. Fortunately, his sister, Angel, has already proven herself as a private investigator, and she is determined to solve the case.
*** This fast paced mystery does not cut any corners. Unlike many secular books of this genre, the author does not rely on sex and cheap, gory thrills to move the story along. However, that does not mean it's a wimpy, Christian novel. It is Christian, but in no way is it wimpy, and the message is not beaten over the readers' heads. ***

With her father just recently passing away, former police officer and now PI, Angel Delaney has begun an investigating to search for her brother. Older brother Luke Delaney had mysteriously disappeared six years earlier and nobody had seen him since. After Luke's best friend, Nick, is injured by an unknown shooter, Angel suspects that whoever was behind her brother's disappearance has resurfaced again.
As Good As Dead, the third book in the Angel Delaney Mystery series, was not quite as interesting as Deadly Aim (book 1), although I liked it more than Dying to Kill (book 2). I've really enjoyed following this series, as I've always been liked mystery novels that focus around the female detective type. Definitely a recommended read for mystery lovers.
