Preacher Sam
by Cassondra Windwalker
Publisher: Black Spot Books 
Release Date: September 17, 2019

No one is more qualified to understand the blackest hearts than a disgraced, porn-addicted former preacher who is still in love with his estranged wife. Floundering for direction and beset by the needs of his well-meaning but aggravating atheist sister and her seven-year-old son, Sam Geisler is trying to put his past behind him when the murder of one of his former parishioners by another drags him back into the world he left behind.Sam may not be Broadripple’s favorite son, but his peculiar gift for listening has earned him the moniker murderer-whisperer, and the police need his help on what should be an open-and-shut case. Fighting for his marriage, fighting with his sister, and fighting against his own demons, Sam may be the only one who hears what the real murderer is all but shouting—but will it be enough to drive back his own darkness?

REVIEW BY LYNN 

4/5

​Cassondra Windwalker’s Preacher Sam is a psychological thriller that delves into the degradation of mankind when murder, lies, and secrets take over the small town of Broadripple, Indiana. The complex story sucks you in immediately as Amanda is arrested for murdering her best friend and business partner, Amy. Amanda shuts down and refuses to speak to anyone except Amy’s husband, Clay, and her former preacher, Sam Geisler.  This only adds fuel to the speculation as to what happened to cause someone to murder sweet Amy and the reason behind it all is quite disturbing. 


While a slow build to the surprising climax, the author takes the reader on a journey of reflection and growth with disgraced preacher Sam Geisler as he attempts to find redemption from his sins in the eyes of the church as well as his own.  Having left the church after admitting to having a porn addiction, Sam is estranged from his wife and living in the spare room above his sister’s book café.  The murder plot almost takes a back seat Sam’s personal trials. 

Preacher Sam is the first book I have read by Cassondra Windwalker.  I enjoy the depth and the rawness of her characters.  She bares all their sins but doesn’t judge.  The secondary character, Dani, Sam’s sister, is actually my favorite.  She adds levity to the serious nature of the story. Dani is feisty and mouthy and I love it!  I look forward to reading future books in this series. ​
