The Blue Cloak is another book in the True Colors series. The books are written by different authors but all have one theme, strange but true crime stories.
I have read all the stories so far, and this one is the most gruesome. It tells the story of the Harpes and their serial murder spree in the late 1700s. The characters are quite well developed and the story flows well. At the end, the author provides a lot of the history she used for writing the story.
I am big on a well-edited story and this story was great. There were no major errors that detract from reading although some of the wording was unusual to me though not in a bad way.
You can tell that the author put a lot of time and research into this story. It is a Christian book but not as you'd expect. It shows how God works even in bad situations without being preachy. It shows how different people, in different aspects of the story, rely on God, or in some cases don't.
I really enjoyed the book but it is not one to read just before bedtime. I give it 4 out of 5 stars. I would recommend this book to my friends. This review is my personal opinion, freely given. I requested and received this book through NetGalley and Barbour Publishing.
