"This book was written near Canada and Maine. I enjoyed the clever style the author wrote about each Character. I love mysteries. I couldn't put the book down until done."

" I'm currently reading this one and enjoying it very much. Linda Hall is a writer who keeps my interest from the beginning to the end. "
— C.L., 10/28/2013" Not bad, but not a keeper. Typical what happened to so and so... same story has been told before. Very mellow book, no excitement. There is a hint of it at the end, but no violence. Barely a mention of God or Christianity although this book is about a minister and his wife. "

— Kimberly, 10/25/2012" good story although a bit uneven at times and needs more character development. Slows down in parts but keeps your interest overall. "
