This was an interesting read. A story of mystery and romance. A storm goes through Glory, North Carolina and it seems the wind knocked over the steeple and killed a person. However upon closer look it seems that the storm may not have been the actual killer. This event starts the main characters on a journey in figuring out who actually did it. An interesting Christian mystery novel.

It was a good afternoon read. Not what i expected. The characters were a little over the top, but likable.

I Loved this Book! it's definitely one of those books that you would want to read again (I'm sure i will again someday in the future :) ).
but for some reason the ending was predicatable to me :( which was kind of sad beacuase it was the perfect combination of mystery and a little bit of romance.

to people who are looking for Cozy Mysteries...this one is definitely for you :).

MUCH better at enphasizing more on the mystery angle of the book versus the romance portion.

some great twists and turns, especially for it being co-authored

Book 12 of C19 lockdown. This one had too many lazy fill ins to be a satisfying read for me.
