Christian Fiction Devourers discussion

Welcome to November's Book of the Month! And Dani is our author of the month.



Taunting riddles. A deadly string of heists. Two broken hearts trapped in a killer's game.

Christian O’Brady was pulled into a life of crime at a young age by his con artist parents. Now making amends for his corrupt past, he has become one of the country’s foremost security experts. When a string of Southwestern art heists targets one of the galleries Christian secured, he is paired up with a gifted insurance investigator who has her own checkered past.

Andi Forester was a brilliant FBI forensic analyst until one of her colleagues destroyed her career, blaming her for mishandling evidence. She now puts those skills to work investigating insurance fraud, and this latest high-stakes case will test her gift to the limit. Drawn deep into a dangerous game with an opponent bent on revenge, Christian and Andi are in a race against the clock to catch him, but the perpetrator’s game is far from finished, and one wrong move could be the death of them both.

Wowser! I just finished! Can't wait for the next in this series!

it looks to be a good one, for sure!

Here are the discussion questions I found (and remember, from here on out, spoilers are allowed):

1. Do you have a favorite character? If so, why do they stand out to you?

2. Have you ever been to the Southwest before? If so, did reading Christian and Andi’s story bring back any good memories for you? If you haven’t been before, what would you most like to see on a visit there?

3. Jeopardy Falls is a fictional town set in a real place in the mountains northwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico. What surprised you about the town, and what did you enjoy most about it?

4. Have you eaten New Mexican food before? If not, is there anything that you would want to try?

5. Which MacLeod sibling are you hoping the next book in the series is about and why?

6. The heists occur at a variety of locations including a variety of galleries with items ranging from Mexican opal necklaces to Mayan artifacts to extremely expensive wine. If you could visit one of the galleries, which one would it be and why?

7. Christian and Andi are both seeking redemption but are going about it in two very different ways. Which character, and the way they deal with their past, do you most identify with?

8. Riley MacLeod is a barrel racer in the local rodeo. Have you ever seen a rodeo or ridden a horse? If not, would you like to? If so, what was your favorite thing about riding?

will be reading this soon. just got it out from the library.

I really enjoyed this book. I tend to love mystery-type books so this had me drawn in.

1. I would say that my favorite character is Christian. It is so easy to relate to his character. He was the perfect example and reminder of how awesome God is in that He knows our mistakes. Everything that we have repented of is never more remembered by our Heavenly Father. What amazing grace!

2. I guess it depends on what you all you consider to be southwest. My husband and I went to Sedona, AZ several years ago. We had such a good time. We went to the Grand Canyon and it was great to see but the red rocks of Sedona were so beautiful!

3. The picture painted of Jeopardy Falls makes it sound like an inviting place! I like the small town setting and the description of the events occurring in the town in the end of the book.

4. I have not tried New Mexican food but I love to experience different cultures. I would love to try it some day.

5. I think Deckard would make a great story line. I think his character has a lot to be unpacked to understand the real Deckard.

6. I would choose the Mexican opal necklaces. I like looking at different types of jewelry. But the Mayan artifacts would be interesting as well.

7. I am probably more like Andi. I tend to withdraw from bad memories and troubles from my past.

8. I have never been to a rodeo. I have only watched them on TV. I did ride a horse when I was a child but that was many years ago. Due to physical limitations, I do not see horse riding in my future but I would love to experience a rodeo in person.

3. Jeopardy Falls is a fictional town set in a real place in the mountains northwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico. What surprised you about the town, and what did you enjoy most about it?
~I loved the small town vibes and am looking forward to the rest of the series being set there.

6. The heists occur at a variety of locations including a variety of galleries with items ranging from Mexican opal necklaces to Mayan artifacts to extremely expensive wine. If you could visit one of the galleries, which one would it be and why?
~I think I would want to check out the gallery with the Mexican jewellery . . . provided that they were acquired legally and that the artists were paid a fair wage for their work. Exploitation isn't a good look on anyone.🙂

7. Christian and Andi are both seeking redemption but are going about it in two very different ways. Which character, and the way they deal with their past, do you most identify with?
~TBH, I think I'd be more like Christian . . . trying hard to accept God's grace and forgiveness, but always with that little uncertainty when explaining the situation as necessary to new people.
