No Sanctuary Kindle Edition

by Helen R. Myers (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 17 ratings
Metal sculptor Bay Butler spent six years in a Texas prison for a crime she did not commit—until the efforts of a powerful client get her conviction overturned. Suddenly Bay is free, but she is still plagued with questions. Why was she imprisoned based on circumstantial evidence? And what really happened the night her business partner was found brutally murdered in their studio?

Her quest for the truth brings her face-to-face with Jack Burke, the cop who arrested her for the murder. Bay Butler's case has haunted him for six years—and so has the woman herself.

While Bay feels she owes benefactress Madeleine Ridgeway her life, she is unsettled by the woman's fierce attention. Since she is the powerful head of a large ministry, her patronage of Bay should be welcome. Instead, it puts Bay and Jack on a trail of deadly secrets that threaten the foundation of a small Texas town…a town where power and money have exacted a price in blood.

    I had a paperback copy that I had to get rid of, and I needed to replace it. This is one of my absolute favorite books, and I’ve read it many times. I absolutely recommend it to anyone.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good suspense read.
    Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2004
    This is a good book. Not one of the best, but very entertaining. Bay Butler has spent 6 years in prison for a murder she didn't commit.
    As she was railroaded into prison, she is finagled out. The detective who handled her case, is surprised to see her out. However, HE has always thought she was innocent.
    You are pretty sure who is involved in the conspiracy, from the start. You don't find out why until a little before the end. There are strong characters but I found the story a little to pat.
    But it will hold your attention, and fill some time. I did enjoy reading this book. But don't look for any surprise ending.

    I really enjoyed this book, I used to read this author but for some reason stopped. The characters were great and the suspense was excellent. I will be reading more of her books from now on and will go back and read ones I missed.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Suspense and romance in a hot Texas town
    Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2003
    If you are looking for a book with a chilling suspensful story and a great romance, you need look no further than this great new novel by Helen R. Myers.
    Life has stung Bay Butler so many times, she doesn't seem to feel its bite any more. Convicted of killing her best friend and business partner, a crime she didn't commit, Bay has spent six long, horrifying years in Texas' Gatesville Women's Prison. So when her release and pardon is arranged by Madeline Ridgeway, a former client, Bay is skeptical and apprehensive, feeling that something about the woman's generosity is suspect. One isn't just sprung from prison on the whim of a wealthy woman. What does Madeline Ridgeway want from Bay?
    Madeline Ridgeway does have an agenda in mind for Bay Butler. By offering Bay a new chance at life, the outward motive behind the do-gooder's mission seems to be to draw attention to the religious ministry she is deeply involved in. But an alternative purpose is soon revealed as Bay delves deeper into the real reason Ridgeway had arranged her release from prison.
    Bay finds assistance in her search for the truth in the form of Jack Burke, the detective who arrested her for murder six years earlier. Jack has always felt that the case against Bay wasn't handled right, and he vows to help her uncover the truth, even if it means losing his job in the process.
    As Bay and Jack work together to find out what Madeline Ridgeway is up to, they soon finds themselves becoming attracted to one another. But they also wonder if their tenuous relationship could survive the investigation into Bay's past.
    In her latest book, "No Sanctuary," suspense writer Helen R. Myers once again takes her readers on a trip to small town Texas, where everyone knows everyone else's business and many of their secrets as well. This novel is an exquisite mix of suspenseful mystery with a tasteful dash of romance. The heroine is strong and independent, and who is a talented metalworker, an unusual occupation for woman. The hero is an ethical, caring man who struggles with the bureaucratical and corrupt ranks of the police department in order to clear the name of the woman he loves.
    Helen Myers is a skillful storyteller, and this novel is testament to her talent. Readers will be enthralled with this story until the twisting, turning end.

    "No Sanctuary" opens with a new opportunity for Bay Butler to start her life over after being wrongfully accused of murder and sent to prison. She's fiercly independent, which does not suit her mysterious benefactor, a wealthy matron with a hidden agenda. Toss in a cop who has always had his doubts of Bay's guilt, and you have a mystery on your hands. Who is responsible for Bay's being sent to prison? And, what do they want from her now?

    The book was okay, but I wasn't able to become attached to the characters.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2003
    I LOVED this newest mystery/suspense! Ms. Myers has spun a clever, edge-of-your-seat thriller. Great characers and a plot that keeps you riveted is my kind of read. Can't wait to see what unique story she comes up with next. I guarantee each one is different. What a talented writer!
