From the Clutches of Evil is a Christmas story about an amnesiac teenager and captured my interest at once. It kept me wondering who the boy was and how he was connected all the way through. The ending was a nail biter and the true meaning of the title becomes clear as the case is resolved. Great read at Christmas or anytime of the year!

From the Clutches of Evil

An adventure with Jillian Bradley and her Yorkie Teddy. This takes place at Christmas and is filled with secrets and evil, but another page turner for the reader. I enjoyed going for the ride!

#3 in Jillian Bradley Mystery

**Note: This is a Christian Fiction book.**
**Holiday Themed story.**

This is the second book I've read in this series. Again, I am not a Christian, but I enjoyed this book more than the first one I read in the series. I glossed over the religious parts, and if you are like me and do the same, you will enjoy it as much as I did. I think of this book reading much like an update "Leave It To Beaver," as the feeling is mostly all happy-happy and Jillian is always upright and proper; with the feeling that all Christian are like her. (And sometimes a feeling that only Christian are upright and good....but that's by own perception.)

Again, the dog stole the show. A pet always adds to a story line.

Typos and grammatical errors, but very limited. And the story was shorter (or at least written tighter,) than first book I read. It won;t be everyone cup o' tea, as it is very vanilla in the cozy mystery department, but I wasn't upset I wasted the time to read it.

Jillian Bradley, the heroine in the Series, becomes guardian to a young teen after an accident leaves him with amnesia and his female companion dead.  An implanted chip in the young man pushes Jillian to discover who her houseguest is and why no one has filed a missing person's report. Plenty of rest is prescribed for Luke, the temporary name given the young man and with around the clock nursing, Jillian is given the freedom to put her listening ear to good use. A fun cozy mystery, I highly recommend this book.

Pure escapism--cozy mystery

Somewhat far fetched but clever story. Everyone was a bit too nice to be true.
