Book Review: He Walks Among Us by Christy Barritt

 


He Walks Among Us by Christy Barritt - 4 Stars 
Book 2 in the True Crime Junkies Series

Members of the Arctic Circle Murder Club are BACK together to discuss their next case! Things get derailed though when 3 bodies emerge from an icy river nearby and a friend of one of the victims pleads for help. 

I really enjoyed this one, it reminded me of a TV show you might see out there. Amateur detectives, crime podcast, side mysteries to solve - really liked it. Would like a bit more details to progress on the side mysteries but all in all - not bad. Also, if there is going to be a romance....hinted at, let's solve what needs to be solved to get the romance going LOL

I like the characters in general - the mystery was a bit unsettling with the POV of the killer. Who the killer was surprised me, as usual - since I never guess these things. 

Enjoyed the faith elements sprinkled throughout. Looking forward to reading the next one.

With the help of her rescue cat, Eddie, librarian Minnie Hamilton is driving a bookmobile in the resort town of Chilson, Michigan. Things happen she least expects when Eddie runs off and finds the body of a local man in town..... Minnie is ready to let the police solve the case but Eddie seems to smell a rat! Together they work to find the killer.  This was a really fun one to read while I was recovering from having surgery this last week! :) As a gift from my friend Tammy, I am so glad I read it! (And that I had my kitty Simba right there with me while I read it was a cute bonus!) Eddie is a stubborn kitty and I LOVED THAT! He kept on pushing the limits to help Minnie out. :)  A bookmobile is also a unique thing to find in books that I absolutely loved. I am looking forward to more of Minnie and Eddie

Book Review: All My Secrets by Lynn Austin

  All My Secrets - Lynn Austin - 5 Stars All My Secrets by Lynn Austin is a multigenerational story of 3 women that explores first loves, grief, high society lifestyle, history, the Christian faith and the essence of what matters most in life. I highly recommend this book as I was fully immersed in the story and characters.  Set during the Gilded Age in New York, we see the strength of the Stanhope women following the passing of Arthur Stanhope. Left uncertain of their future paths, Junietta, Sylvia, and Adelaide grapple with the ramifications of Arthur's will and the looming uncertainty surrounding their family's estate. As they navigate through the aftermath, family secrets begin to unravel, shedding light on their intertwined history. I absolutely loved this story. I was very invested in the audiobook narration and learning about Sylvia and Junietta's past. We see the beauty of the Gospel in this story several times as our characters grapple with their past decisions, mi
