The Mystery Continues: Five Fall Favorites

I love mysteries, but I'll be honest and say I haven't read an awful lot of them. Most of them seem to be about murder and dark. But I've found a few that I've really enjoyed over the years. Today, I get to share a few of my favorites. 

One of my earliest introductions to mysteries in fiction was the O'Malley series. This is a very intense series, both the mystery aspect and the emotional one. Each book not only has a mystery/suspense element to it, but also presents each of the O'Malley siblings and their personal journey to saving faith in Jesus. Dee Henderson did a great job not only writing brilliant stories, but showed that different people struggle with matters of faith differently.Goodreads | Amazon
I stumbled across the Wilkester Mysteries Series and quickly found a new series to adore. I loved that the main character was a smart, capable, Christian woman who didn't whine about life being different than she had always hoped. While topically, this is perhaps a pretty normal mystery series (who murdered who and why), the characters are unique and really awesome. As a professor of Engish Katrina shared about some of the books and authors she loved, I found new ones to check out as well. Goodreads | AmazonMy Review of Book 1 | Book 2 | Book 3
How would I discrible The Accidental Cases of Emily Abbott Series? I would say that if we had a fun, clean mystery show that was written for people in their teens, this might be the result. It isn't a hard-hitting mystery/crime novel type. These novellas are just a fun way to relax and enjoy some fun mystery that is clean. If you have ever watched the 80s show, Scracrow and Mrs. King, I would say it as a simlier feeling expect cleaner.Expect fun, laugher, with a big dose of spy stuff. Goodreads | AmazonMy Review of Book 1 |Book 2 | Book 3| Book 4 | Book 5 | Book 6 | Book 7 | Book 8
My Mom has collected quite a few of the cozy mysteries by Guideposts, but Family Patterns by Kristin Eckhardt has been among the best I've read. The story revolves around Sarah Hart restoring a quilt and trying to figure out a family mystery that has been around for many years. It might not sound super exciting, but I was on the edge of my seat for the whole book, just because the writing was so compelling. Goodreads | Amazon

This book was somewhat like a Sherlock Holmes style mystery, but with a lot on the line. Jasper not only need to solve the mystery of who is sabotaging the candy factory, but also give a compelling reason for his boss to contuie living. It isn't always easy to read about someone who is thinking about ending their life, but I loved how Schamel didn't give an easy answer to the question, but one with so much hope.Goodreads | Amazon
