    Too short and would have loved for it to continue. It kept you on the edge of your seat and I never saw the ending coming. Very surprising, exciting and loved the inclusion of Bible verses. It was everything I love about cozy mysteries and would love to read more. Maybe longer series is the only thing I would change.
  • Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2021
    This was a great read. It moved along at a nice pace, fast enough to keep one interested but not so fast as to miss out on details. The main characters are interesting and likable, and I found myself really rooting for things to go their way. There were a few moments of gasps of twists and turns. I was happy that the author included an epilogue...sometimes you are left wondering how things worked out a little further down the line. But things were nicely wrapped up.
    This was the final book in a three part series and I highly recommend reading the entire series. Each book is a page turning keeping you on your toes and unable to put the book down!

    It's hard to find clean Christian books of this caliber. Hope keeps the storyline moving at a fast pace and keeps the reader guessing what will happen next. The happily ever after ending was great.

    I enjoyed the plots, the characters and settings. Thoroughly enjoy Callahan books and series. Keep up the good work.
  • Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2024
    I have read several series and this felt like it didn't fit the quality of the others. It was the kind of novel that kept me reading. I still don't know the connection of the dead woman in book one or her killer.

    Just when you think you have everyone pegged, someone throws a wrench in your thinking. It was a surprise to find just what was going on and what finally happened. I love these stories!
