My thoughts:

This is the 3rd book in this series that I've listened to. I enjoyed it very much. The story is well-planned and written. I kept my interest throughout. I listened to this straight through as I truly enjoyed it and I had the time to do that. The characters are believable and the plot goes at a very good pace, not rushed and not slow. Some stories take a long time to get into, but not this.

The narration was also very well done. The inflections and diction were just right. She kept the pace of the story flowing very well, also.

I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a good mystery. This is a Christian book but it is in no way preachy. The characters just show their faith in word and deed. I rate this a 4 out of 5 star book. I reserve 5 stars for over-the-top books. This is good, better than most.

This book was given to me through CelebrateLit in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts are my own.
