Dr. Lilly Reeves is a young, accomplished ER physician with her whole life ahead of her. But that life instantly changes when she becomes the fifth victim of a serial rapist. Believing it's the only way to recover her reputation and secure peace for herself, Lilly sets out to find--and punish--her assailant. Sporting a mysterious tattoo and unusually colored eyes, the rapist should be easy to identify. He even leaves what police would consider solid evidence. But when Lilly believes she has found him, DNA testing clears him as a suspect. How can she prove he is guilty, if science says he is not?… (mere)

Basically, this book is like reading an episode of Law & Order. Or Without A Trace, except chronologically from the missing person's point of view. But here's an original twist: we know who the villain is only a third of the way through the book. From there, the stakes just keep rising, and the crime investigation is enriched by some fascinating medical details.

For me, the only things missing from this novel are deep point of view and deeper characterization. When the point of view stays on the surface, I can't engage on an emotional/character level, only an intellectual/plot level. That said, this is one of the most interesting, unexpected plots I've read from Christian fiction in ... practically ever. It never lets up, pretty much from page one. Kept me curious, and I will definitely read Ms. Redwood's next book. If she deepens point of view in subsequent books, I'll be even happier.

Recommended if: You enjoy plot-driven fiction, un-sanitized Christian fiction, crime and/or medical suspense. ( )

Wow is not enough to say about how much I loved this book. Jordyn Redwood takes you on a roller coaster ride of suspense from the start. Dr. Lilly Reeves thinks she has it all till a monster takes it all away. What will she do? Will she let God help her an atheist? Who is the stranger in the ER???
Must read book.

Proof, by Jordyn Redwood, is an exciting, edge-of-the-seat medical thriller. This is the kind of book a reader stays up late to finish! Lilly is an ER physician going places in her career, until disaster strikes. Then she meets new friends..."pain, sleeplessness, and despair." How in the world did her life fall apart and she, the victim, become the problem and end up on the run? Can, or maybe even, will, her friends help her? Will she be able to get the proof needed in time to prevent more death? The author, with a 20-year career as an ER/ICU nurse, writes a very credible whodunit. Redwood presents fascinating information about DNA and its use in criminal cases. The characters are realistic and likable. The villain is definitely villainous! The storyline is fast-paced and is interlaced with a little romance and strong Christian values. A debut novel, but definitely not run of the mill. This author just gained a new fan.

I am a huge fan of medical mystery books like Richard Mabry writes. This book is definitely right up there with his caliber of writing . I just discovered that the author has written a couple of other books that will be on my list to buy next. I'm excited that I found a new author that writes suspenseful books with a medical theme.

As Lilly works in the ER of a hospital, I can visualize her movements with perfect precision. She is very skilled and well liked at her job. One day the unthinkable happens to her. She has been viciously raped and the police suspect several other cases are similar to hers. Her emotional state was well written and I could feel her sinking deeper into depression. Her work is being affected and she is borderline on the brink of a nervous breakdown when she discovers something that happened after her rape. What is it that will cause her to turn away from her friends? What secret Is she hiding? I wanted to hug her and tell her everything was going to be alright. I felt her pain and her despair. Have you ever thought that you couldn't handle a situation? "Sometimes , God will bring you to the end of yourself so that all you see is him."

The medical aspect of the story is riveting and I loved the knowledge the author shows about DNA in her writing. It is very detailed and really gave me insight into something I was not familiar with. I appreciate the intricate storyline and how one things ties to another. I loved the spiritual references throughout the book and how some of the characters relied on their faith and were comfortable praying for situations. I loved the mention of sacrifice. It was well placed in the story and reminds readers that Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice for us.

The ending is an on the edge of your seat action packed thrill ride. How far would you go to prove your innocence?

All I can say is WOW. This was a very interesting story and the ending was a great way to show God's love. I did figure out a little of this mystery but not the whole thing. In fact, what I did figure out only made me want to read more to see how it all fit together. The characters were very well developed. The story flowed well. It did not miss a beat and kept me so involved I finished in 3 days, which for me is very fast. The editing was well done except for a few grammatical errors in some of the characters speaking and I wasn't sure if it was intentional or not. As an example, who was used when it should have been whom. Not major, and like I stated, maybe on purpose? I do not think you will be disappointed. God was shown throughout the book but not in a pushy way. I look forward to reading the next book in the series. If you like a good medical mystery, you will enjoy this book. This book was given to me in exchange for my honest review. ( )
