A Shadow of Treason is Tricia Goyer’s latest fiction release. I had the pleasure of watching this book develop chapter by chapter a year ago. Book Two in the Chronicles of the Spanish Civil War, Tricia sheds light on a forgotten war that served as the prelude to World War Two. And the book is jam-packed with rich characters. My …

Bluegrass Peril, Virginia Smith’s latest offering from Love Inspired Suspense, is an enjoyable step into the Kentucky bluegrass region. We drove through this area in August, so I could picture the rolling hills and white fences surrounding huge horse farms. I wanted to stop and explore them all then, and through this book I can pretend I got to do …

I don’t often read novellas, because most don’t have enough going on to keep me interested. However, Robin Jones Gunn crafts a wonderful tale with Finding Father Christmas. Miranda Carson travels to England one Christmas to find the father she’s never known. As this tale begins, she enters the Tea Cosy on Christmas Eve. She’s already questioning her decision to …

Can I admit that Bygones sat on my shelf for six months. I wanted to read it, but I was afraid I would be unable to get into a story about the collision of old and new with the Mennonite thread. Yet from the moment I picked up this book till I finished it the next day, I could not …

After extra diligence on her part chasing down the book from the bowels of the hotel’s backrooms, it appeared. And I promptly snapped up one of the few remaining copies. I have been waiting to read The Restorer’s Son …

WARNING! Do not pick up this book unless you have time to read it straight through. Brandilyn’s books have never disappointed me, but this one was simply impossible to put down. Even when I figured out one of the plot points with 100 pages left I…COULD…NOT…PUT…THIS…BOOK…DOWN. Crimson Eve is a classic woman in jeopardy story with plenty of twists ala …

Bayou Justice is the debut release from talented author (and my friend!) Robin Caroll and avoids so many of the mistakes common to first efforts. From the first line of chapter one, I was swept into the story and setting. CoCo LeBlanc just wants to protect the alligators that line the Louisiana Bayou outside her home, but finds her wrestling …

I literally just got done reading this book and had to tell you about it. Those of you who know me, know I don’t usually read PI stories.
