A Tangled Web by Leslie Rule

This is a true story written by the daughter of the famous author of True Crime books, Ann Rule. Leslie is truly following in her mother’s footsteps. This is the story of a cyberstalker, a love triangle and a murder. It takes place in Omaha NE and surrounds around 2012. It is a true story that was all over the newspapers and has been dramatized by several true crime programs on TV.


The author gives great details of all the happenings and subsequent investigations. She did her research well and that makes this a very intriguing story and will be a must read for all True Crime readers.

Breakfast at the Honey Creek Cafe by Jodi Thomas

I loved this book. It was improbable but funny and entertaining. Piper Mackenzie is the mayor of her small hometown in Texas. Her father is the governor and her brothers are Texas Rangers. When her sometimes friend claims to be engaged to her and then disappears, the family sends an undercover lawman, Colby McBride to snoop around and find out what is going on. Piper is drawn in by Colby to pretend that she knows him and that he is someone who has always wanted to date her.


Mix into the story Sam, a preacher who comes to town to fill the pulpit at the local church for a while and all the complications of the parish.


I would love to see more stories like this. I would recommend them to my friends who love feel good fiction.

Daughter of Cana (Jerusalem Road #1) by Angela Hunt

This is the story of Tasmin, the twin sister of Thomas the Apostle. When Jesus passes through their neighborhood (attending the wedding where he performed a miracle), Thomas decides to follow him. Tasmin is not pleased by him leaving all the work to her. And she doesn’t trust Jesus of Nazareth. Neither does his brother Jude and so they embark on a journey to try to persuade their brothers to come home.

This story goes all the way to the time of the ascension. I would recommend this story to anyone who likes Biblical historical.fiction. Angela Hunt is the best author out there of this genre. I see by the title that this is the start of a series and I am eagerly awaiting the sequels.

When I Meet You (Tree of Life Book 3) by Olivia Newport

This is a story about a professional genealogist who is also solving the mystery of a trunk abandoned at Union Station in Denver in 1909. What happened to the owner? Why didn’t she claim her trunk? Was her identity stolen? Meanwhile, her attorney father has agreed to cook for 200 people at a celebration in their small mountain community in Colorado. This is somewhat interesting but to make it more interesting, recipes at the back of the book would have been nice. Otherwise this part of the story made it kind of slow going and less appealing. The historical and genealogical aspects were extremely interesting to me since I am also a genealogist.

I would recommend this book to a limited number of my friends with similar interests.

The Finders (Mace Reid Canine Mystery Book 1) by Jeffrey B. Burton

This book was great! It made me keep reading to the point of neglecting other things (like sleeping). It started out a little weird and I couldn’t figure out who was talking and which person / persons were the main characters until I read a couple of chapters and then when that was established, the story moved right along. I loved the characters and can’t wait to see most of them again in book 2. The plot revolved about a psychopath serial killer. That subject always fascinated me because it is hard to fathom what makes people turn out that way. Jeffrey Burton is a new author to me but I’m sure I will become more acquainted with his writing in the future. I also love to read about K-9s.


I recommend this book to all my mystery loving friends out there.
