Without Proof: A Redemption's Edge Novel Kindle Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 122 ratings

**Finalist in The Word Awards (suspense category)**

"Asking questions could cost your life."

Two years after the plane crash that killed her fiancé, Amy Silver has fallen for his best friend, artist Michael Stratton. When a local reporter claims the small aircraft may have been sabotaged, it reopens Amy's grief.

Anonymous warnings and threats are Amy's only proof that the tragedy was deliberate, and she has nowhere to turn. The authorities don't believe her, God is not an option, and Michael's protection is starting to feel like a cage.

How will Amy find the truth?

Michael's feisty great-aunt and the dead man's university-student sister are the other key players in this Christian romantic suspense set in Nova Scotia, Canada.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Without Proof, like Sketchley's other novels, pushes its characters to breaking point before God's plan in their life is fully revealed to them. They may hit bottom, but they rise far above their fears, anger, and confusion in the end. I absolutely enjoyed the story, the twists and turns, the psychology, and finally, the message of endless love."
Sara Goff, author of I Always Cry at Weddings ★★★★★

"
Without Proof addresses many important themes including fear, forgiveness, and self-acceptance... Sketchley's skillful way with words kept me spellbound until the story's last action-packed scene."
Violet Nesdoly, author of Destiny's Hands and Under the Cloud ★★★★★

"This book pushed all the right buttons to get me reading: cosy mystery; Christian; Canadian. Once I started, the suspense and deft pacing kept me going."
Bob Goodnough, Goodreads reviewer ★★★★★

"The twists and turns of the plot, and what lies hidden, really caught me by surprise, and there were several moments when my skin was prickling along with Amy's."
Paula Vince, of The Vince Review ★★★★1/2

"If you enjoy romantic suspense with a decidedly Christian message, I urge you to give
Without Proof a try. My guess is that you'll want to read the previous two, as well, once you're done."
Valerie Comer, USA Today bestselling author ★★★★

"Author Janet Sketchley has crafted a tightly-written novel in
Without Proof. Her characters are credible and realistic, with problems, concerns and secrets that make the reader care from the first page onward... A story with so many questions is always a great read, especially when the author expertly answers them at just the right time."
Janice L. Dick, author of The Happenstance Chronicles mysteries

"I highly recommend it."
Deborah M. Piccurelli, author of Hush, Little Baby and In the Midst of Deceit ★★★★★

This author is a first for me and I totally enjoyed this book. The suspense and trying to figure out who was threating Amy and toward the end I thought I knew who was doing it, but it did have a twist at the end and it was a total surprise. I got this book from the library and highly recommend it.

It was a book with a good story line... the ending I didn't see coming... cant put my finger on why but it felt like a "b" movie... Good but not great
Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2020
What a nail biter suspense story with plenty of romance to satisfy we romantics. Christian theme throughout story with strong characters and a great story line. I’ll definitely be looking for more books from this author.
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2020
A mystery that will be sure to be a page turner. Who is doing what and why? You won’t know until it is over. This is a great story!
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2016
I closed the (virtual) cover on Sketchley’s new book this morning—with a sigh of satisfaction. This romantic/psychological suspense had me holding my breath throughout. Janet is a strong writer, and her plot is just intricate enough to have kept me guessing who was on the heroine’s side and who was threatening her. I challenge you to read this novel and figure out “who done it” any faster than I did!

The story takes place within the arts world. I come from a family of artists, and I found Sketchley’s gallery setting very convincing. Her background research on small aircraft is terrific, too. I hold a private pilot’s license (albeit currently invalid), and the flight scenes were realistic: "The little plane trundled onto the runway, bucking at every seam in the tarmac . . . Outside, the ground rushed past. Then they were airborne. The plane lost its awkward motion and lifted, as if drawn upward by a thread."

"Without Proof" is Christian fiction, and much of the content relates to the main character’s struggle with faith. The theme, as with the earlier books in the "Redemption’s Edge" trilogy, centres around forgiveness. The religious tone is magnified through ongoing references to prayer, Bible study and application, and the personal experiences of the characters. Sketchley deals with biblical principles using some pivotal statements that might well ring in the hearts of readers who are looking themselves for spiritual answers. For example, when the non-Christian main character says, “God should listen to you. You’re a good person,” the Christian says, “It’s not about how good we are. It’s how good He is, and how needy we are . . . Come dirty. He’ll clean you . . . No matter how . . . dirty or damaged the person, we all need Jesus and we can’t earn His acceptance on our own.”

Sketchley isn’t shy about asking some fairly weighty religious/societal questions; for example, early in the book, a potential boyfriend says, “A good Muslim son obeys his father, and I find the old ways . . . satisfying,” upon which the main character thinks, "Because you’re a man." This immediately got me wondering how deeply the author would take the clash between Christianity and Islam. You’ll have to read the book to find this out for yourself.
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2017
I am not sure what to think of this book. There are parts I really enjoyed,then there are portions that I believed the author could have done a better job with
I liked the innocence of the main character Amy, understood how she felt unworthy because of the situation surrounding her parents. However,I thought the lack of emotions from Michael didn't represent that of an artist. The real let down for me was the plot towards the end of the book.
I felt the writer got a little lazy and so the story fell apart a bit. I will read more by this author as I really enjoyed the first 3/4 of the book.

I highly recommend this book. Exciting and dangerous events keep you in suspense but also show the amazing Hands of God drawing the characters to Himself.

This third book of Janet Sketchley’s Redemption’s Edge series follows in the footsteps of the other two. Although some of the characters from the first two books, (Heaven’s Prey and Secretes and Lies) do appear in minor roles, the book can and does stand on its own.
Amy Silver has lost her fiancé, Gilles, and, after spending time in hospital, finds she has nowhere to go. Gilles’ best friend, Michael, and his aunt offer to provide her with a home and a job as Michael’s assistant. When a reporter interviews Amy and raises the question of possible sabotage causing the airplane crash which killed her fiancé, Amy is at first sceptical but as evidence, and opposition, mounts she becomes determined to follow the leads and get justice for herself and Gilles.
Ms. Sketchley has once again provided hours of suspenseful reading enjoyment. Her characters are plausible, exhibiting the same fears, frustrations and joys as are found in any suspenseful situation. She uses current news and world situations to enhance the story. (Sorry, I can’t say more than that without giving away too much of the plot).
Although it did take me a while to get into the story, I did enjoy it. I did wonder, at times, how one small group of people could experience that much turmoil over a short period of time, but then, I lead a quiet life.
As with the other two novels in the series, Ms. Sketchley does not shy away from her Christian beliefs but incorporates them into the story. This comes across in a relatively natural way without being too preachy.
This book is a good read, even if you haven’t read the first two.

5.0 out of 5 stars A novel that keeps the reader turning the pages.
Reviewed in Canada on December 29, 2015
Without Proof is the third novel in the redemption series by Janet Sketchley; although the story is much less graphic than the nail biting, Heaven's Prey. The story takes us into the home of Michael and his Aunt Beatrice. Amy, the central character, is staying in the home following a plane crash and the death of her fiancé, Gilles. The story gathers momentum as a number of characters coming and going appear to know something that Amy does not? Why is she getting threatening text messages? Is Michael really her friend? She struggles with a gamut of emotions, including her own worth. Sketchley constructs a gentle pull into mystery and intrigue, which is guaranteed to keep the reader turning the pages.

Reviewed in Canada on March 9, 2018
I enjoyed this novel. It was a page turner and I quickly got sucked into the story line. I liked that the story dealt with deep heart issues. One line in particular really spoke to me. I had to read it twice. :) I appreciated that the book was not predictable. Surprises in a book are fun! The Christian faith was realistically woven throughout.. I wish the ending had been a bit longer but otherwise I'm happy I read it. I have book two on my kindle and look forward to that as well. I'm reading the series backwards but it's nice they can be read on their own.
