Beware the Orchids – Fun Mystery!

August 3, 2016 by admin Leave a Comment

Beware the Orchids (A Shady Acres Mystery Book 1)Beware the Orchids by Cynthia Hickey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a darling read and mystery Beware the Orchids is! The characters are a hoot with the setting at a retirement village. Dead people start popping up all over and the authorities don’t seem to be closing in on the killer. Shelby Hart, in a new position at Shady Acres after her fiancee jilted her at the altar, decides she can solve the mystery. She finds the handyman could be helpful and quite a hunk! Escapades galore occur in ending the deaths that have everyone on their last nerve. Who knows who is safe and who is part of the murdering?

I received a copy of Beware the Orchids from The BookClub Network and the author. I have given my honest review in exchange.

Home to Chapel Springs – A Delightful Read!

August 2, 2016 by admin Leave a Comment

Home to Chapel SpringsHome to Chapel Springs by Ane Mulligan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my second Chapel Springs book by Ane Mulligan and I was delighted again. She writes several captivating stories into the plot. Claire and Patsy have been BFFs their whole lives and their families have grown up with weddings in the horizon. There is a mayoral race in Chapel Springs that places the town council in need of actions to bring peace to this little burg. A newcomer to Chapel Springs, Carin, a successful author and her young son arrive penniless after her husband leaves and takes all of her books’ commissions. She is depleted financially, spiritually, and is scrambling to find ideas to write a new book. Surprises await her as she learns to wait on God for everything in her life. Claire and Patsy are weaved into all of the lives and action bringing humor, faith, and friendship everywhere they go as in the other Chapel Springs books. I would love to have them as my buds and meet daily at Dee’s and Dough’s for coffee, tea, and breakfast with them. This book is very well written with faith and life lessons intertwined. I highly recommend Home to Chapel Springs and this author, Ane Mulligan.
