Thanks to the author and The Cozy Mystery Review Crew for a comp copy in exchange for my honest review.
This is the first Christian mystery I've read, and the story stood up to any good cozy. A likable heroine living in a small town, a mysterious death with a murderer on the loose, a cast of quirky characters, and lots of clues to draw in the reader. What made this novel stand out were the solid Christian characters who spoke and believed authentically (although with a definite Southern flavor). The author's tagline says it all: "Real Characters. Real Issues. Real Faith." This would make a great book to read and discuss at a women's study or Christian book group, especially since there are good, thought-provoking discussion questions included.
You can read this as a stand-alone, even though it's the second book in the "short Creek Mystery" series. I will be reading book #1 soon as the author generously included it when sending me #2.
