When my mother said The Body They May Kill was better than Stallsmith's Thyme Will Tell series, I frankly didn't believe her. Or rather, I didn't believe I'd agree with her.
In the words of Rapunzel's captor, "Mother knows best." I should've listened to my mumsie.
My all-time favorite character, Titus, nearly got unseated in this book. I have never fallen in love with a character as quickly as I did one in here. In just a page or two, I was a gonner.
And then Stallsmith killed that character off! Ruthless murder. And she set up a set of clues and suspects to keep readers guessing from beginning to end. But that wasn't the best part.
This book is Christian fiction at its finest. The raw, authentic, no-holds-barred weaving of faith and questioning and thoughts... I put more tabs in this one REALLY SHORT novel than I have in any other book (okay, besides the Bible!).
Perfect for lovers of mystery, lovers of characterization, and lovers of faith woven into a story until it feels like an old friend as you read.

So much packed into a short book.

A pretty simple murder mystery. Some quirky characters. A quick read. Nothing special.
