SO CREEPY! Gripping from the start. Couldn't stop reading...
And romantic to boot! :)

Great mystery! Enjoyed the story, the suspense, the faith, the resolution, all of it.

I am giving this 3.5 stars as I was slightly thrown off by errors in the ebook. Quite a few editing errors as well as the fact that the whole book was duplicated so at the end of the first book it appeared I was only half way through. I kept thinking there was so much more to the story which was very distracting.
Anyways, this was a good book though I felt the ending got tied up abruptly and far too succinctly. But it was well written, good characters and a good mystery.

I loved reading this again and although in the back of my mind I thought I knew the end I was still surprised.

Final book in the Julesburg mysteries. I thought the series was boring. It was hard to connect to the characters. This last book in the series was the best one of the three. The author did a better job of developing the main character. I had never read any of her books. I'm not sure if I want to read any more of her books but since these books were her earlier works I may give her later works a try.

I really did not like this final book in this trilogy. It is just an OK mystery that is pretty easy to figure "who done it." She has upped her Christian perspective too much for my taste. I found it a bit preachy and a bit righteous for my tastes. I have read her later books and she backs off "pushing" Christianity and simply tells stories from a Christian perspective. I appreciate that.

This was the best of the trilogy. A gripping mystery with believable characters and just the right edge of creepiness to make for a good read. Again, I would have liked a little more at the ending but it was still a five star read.

A great mystery

This is a good mystery, and as usual, an intelligent and informative look at a spiritual glitch in the Christian walk and an example of a solution to the problem. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good mystery and anyone who is trying to walk with God.

Lorena does it again...probably the most exciting book in this series! I want to read more of her books!
