Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
As the holiday season begins, Laurel McCullough could use some good news. She and her husband, Zach, have been praying for a baby that seems more and more like an impossible dream, and they've had to move in with her beloved grandmother, Helen, who's having trouble taking care of herself. But when Laurel contacts a local home-care organization for help, there are no caregivers available.

Then Mrs. Miracle appears at her door. No stranger to lending a helping hand to a family in need, Mrs. Miracle reveals herself to be nothing short of a godsend. Helen's even convinced she's an angel! Still, Laurel has to admit that Helen has become noticeably happier and more engaged, decorating the family Christmas tree and setting up the nativity with Mrs. Miracle's companionship. In the meantime, Laurel and Zach begin to encounter curious signs, all pointing toward the arrival of a special baby.

My Review:
A Mrs. Miracle Christmas is a Christmas novel. It's the eleventh book in a series, but it can be read as a standalone. Angels come (some in human form) to fulfill the prayers of Helen about Laurel and Zach having a baby. The main angel, Merkel, arrives to be Helen's caretaker for a few weeks. She lets Helen know that she's an angel and that her prayers about a baby will come true in the next few weeks. Laurel has lost faith in God due to the disappointments they've faced, and she refuses to talk about trying again to adopt a baby. Zach still believes they could adopt a baby someday, and he knows how happy that would make Laurel. Laurel is heartbroken and angry that Zach still wants a child, and she feels that Zach must want a baby more than her.

The characters reacted realistically to events, and I cared about what happened to them. Fans of angels-posing-as-humans-and-manipulating/guiding-humans stories will probably like this one a lot since the characters and their struggles were well-written. But the angels made mistakes, and it's implied that it's left up to the angels to figure out what to do to guide the humans to their happy ending. The angel and Helen talked about heaven and angels, but little of the angel's claims were actually from the Bible. (Though some of this is filling in fiction where the Bible doesn't specifically say something.) There was no sex or bad language. I'd recommend this novel to fans of feel-good Christmas stories.

Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
There is one story that novelist Josephine Bourdillon shirked from writing. And now she may never have a chance. Trapped in her memories, she lies in a coma.

The man who put her there is just as paralyzed. Former soldier Henry Hughes failed to complete the kill. What's more: he never received full payment--funds that would ensure a life-saving surgery for his critically-ill son.

As detectives investigate disturbing fan letters, a young but not-so-naïve Paige Bourdillon turns to her mother's turbulent past for answers. She was young during The Awful Year, when her mother received a fan letter that devastated her from a woman claiming that Josephine's novels had caused her daughter to commit suicide. Were there secrets hidden by her parents that might reveal who hired the assassin?


My Review:
When I Close My Eyes is a Christian fiction with three point-of-view characters: Josephine, an author that struggles with depression, Henry, the assassin that came from an abusive background, and Paige, Josephine's teenage daughter. Since Josephine was in a coma from the assassination attempt, we mainly got her viewpoint through flashbacks of her life from 1968 up to the present.

Josephine wrote impactful novels showing people who dealt with difficult circumstances who found hope through forgiveness and trust in God. Henry began to read Josephine's books after his assassination attempt went wrong. Though there was some mystery about who hired Henry, the focus of the novel was more about if Josephine really believed in the grace that she wrote about since she struggled so deeply with depression. The main characters were complex, realistic people, and I cared about what happened to them.

There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this well-written book.

Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
It’s been three years since Laura Hayes’s father died, leaving her and her invalid brother to subsist on the income from the family’s failing perfume business. But time is swiftly running out. What she needs is a husband, and fast. A noble gentleman who can rescue them all from penury. When a mysterious stranger arrives in the village, he seems a perfect candidate. But Alex Archer is no hero. In fact, he just might be the opposite.

Alex has no tolerance for sentiment. He’s returned to England for one reason only: to find a wealthy wife. A country-bred heiress in Surrey seems the perfect target. But somewhere between the village railway station and the manor house his mercenary plan begins to unravel. And it’s all the fault of Laura Hayes—a lady as unsuitable as she is enchanting.

From the beaches of Margate to the lavender fields of Provence, a grudging friendship slowly blossoms into something more. But when scandal threatens, can a man who has spent his entire life playing the villain, finally become a hero? Or will the lure of easy riches once again outweigh the demands of his heart?


My Review:
A Convenient Fiction is a romance set in 1860 in England. This is the third book in a series, but it can be read as a standalone. Alex wants a sense of belonging, which he thinks he can find by marrying into a long-standing family with an estate. Laura believes he's looking for a loving family to belong to, which she can provide. Especially since she needs a husband in order to save what little wealth her family still has. Instead, she's asked to be the chaperone as Alex courts her friend, an heiress with a wealthy estate.

The author has deeply researched the time period and woven this information into the story, creating a distinct sense of time and place. The characters were complex and reacted realistically to events. I cared about what happened to the characters. Alex never really behaved badly during the story, though it's suggested he did before it began. There was no sex. There was a minor amount of bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this story, especially if you enjoy accurate historical aspects in your fiction.

Kopp Sisters on the March by Amy Stewart

Kopp Sisters on the March by Amy Stewart ISBN-13: 9781328736529 Hardcover: 355 pages Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Released: September 17, 2019

Source: ARC review copy of this book from the publisher through Amazon Vine.

Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
In the fifth installment of Amy Stewart’s clever and original Kopp Sisters series, it’s the spring of 1917 and change is in the air. American women have done something remarkable: they’ve banded together to create military-style training camps for women who want to serve. These so-called National Service Schools prove irresistible to the Kopp sisters, who leave their farm in New Jersey to join up. When an accident befalls the matron, Constance reluctantly agrees to oversee the camp—much to the alarm of the Kopps’ tent-mate, the real-life Beulah Binford, who is seeking refuge from her own scandalous past under the cover of a false identity. Will she be denied a second chance? And after notoriety, can a woman’s life ever be her own again?

In Kopp Sisters on the March, the women of Camp Chevy Chase face down the skepticism of the War Department, the double standards of a scornful public, and the very real perils of war. Once again, Amy Stewart has brilliantly brought a little-known moment in history to light with her fearless and funny Kopp sisters novels.


My Review:
Kopp Sisters on the March is a historical novel set in 1917 in America. It's the fifth book in a series, but it works as a stand-alone. The Kopp sisters were real people, and Constance Kopp was New Jersey's first female deputy sheriff. However, the 1917 events in this book were fictional as the author doesn't know what the sisters were actually doing at this time. Much of the book focused on another real woman, Beulah Binford, with flashbacks about her life and the scandal that made her famous.

The author worked interesting historical details into the story, especially about the National Service Schools. The characters acted realistically, were interesting, and I cared about what happened to them. There was some suspense as certain women wanted self-defense and other practical training but had to sneak around to get it. There were no sex scenes. There was a minor amount of bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable story.

Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Hadley Baker can’t believe her boyfriend finally invited her on a fancy hotel dinner date only to break up with her in public. Even more unbelievable is the moment FBI Agent JD Byers finds her crying in the women’s restroom and demands she evacuate. Seconds after JD ushers Hadley outside, an explosion shatters the building.

JD didn’t anticipate seeing Hadley, the beautiful schoolteacher, again after he saved her from the hotel attack. But soon after her ex-boyfriend became a lead suspect of the hotel bombing, the man turned up dead—and now it seems that Hadley herself is a target. Determined to keep her safe, JD shelters Hadley as they join forces to put together the pieces of the perplexing case. When they discover the horrifying truth behind her ex-boyfriend’s nefarious work, Hadley realizes her life is far from the only one being threatened.


My Review:
Mistaken Reality is a romantic suspense novel. It's not listed as part of a series, but it has characters from the Saint Squad series and the Guardian series (and maybe others--this is the first book I've read by this author). While Hadley and JD were the romantic pair, characters from other novels were point-of-view, main characters: Kelsey and Noah, Kade and Renee, Brent, Seth. We're given enough background to understand this novel, but I got the feeling that I would have enjoyed the novel more if I'd read the previous stories featuring these characters.

The story was suspenseful, especially the human trafficking rescues. Hadley didn't seem very upset about her boyfriend and moved on quickly to JD, which bothered even her. It just seemed too fast and emotionally easy to be realistic. I liked the main characters and cared about what happened to them. Many of the characters were of the Latter-day Saints church, so there was some prayer and blessing mentioned. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this suspenseful novel, though mostly to those who have read some of the related series.

Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Hayley Burke has landed a dream job. She is the new curator of Lady Georgiana Fowling's First Edition library. The library is kept at Middlebank House, a lovely Georgian home in Bath, England. Hayley lives on the premises and works with the finicky Glynis Woolgar, Lady Fowling's former secretary.

Mrs. Woolgar does not like Hayley's ideas to modernize The First Edition Society and bring in fresh blood. And she is not even aware of the fact that Hayley does not know the first thing about the Golden Age of Mysteries. Hayley is faking it till she makes it, and one of her plans to breathe new life into the Society is actually taking flight--an Agatha Christie fan fiction writers group is paying dues to meet up at Middlebank House. But when one of the group is found dead in the venerable stacks of the library, Hayley has to catch the killer to save the Society and her new job.


My Review:
The Bodies in the Library is a cozy mystery set in Bath, England. The heroine started out insecure and a push-over, but she transforms into a bolder, firmer heroine after reading her first mystery. Yup, she's never read a mystery and yet was made curator of a mystery novel society. Though she mentally complained about having nothing to do, she resisted actually reading the books she's supposed to be an expert on. But about halfway through, she finally read one, became a fan, and immediately tried her hand at solving the mystery.

To be honest, only the dry humor of the detectives and the encouraging best friend kept me interested until the heroine transformed into a sleuth. I liked that she appreciated when someone was concerned about her safety. She asked good questions, though she's still learning how to do so more subtly. This was a clue-based mystery, and I was able to guess whodunit before the reveal.

It's implied that a ghost helped the heroine, but I'm not sure how large of a role this ghost will play in future stories. There were no sex scenes. There was occasional use of bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this mystery.

My Review:
If Death Ever Slept is a mystery set in 1957 in New York City. Archie Goodwin always has a humorous view of events which makes the mystery fun to read. This was a clue-based puzzle mystery. I guessed some aspects correctly, but whodunit did end up surprising me. Bad assumption on my part. There was no sex. There was a fair amount of bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this to fans of humorous historical mysteries.

Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Reluctantly returning to London for yet another Season, shy Nora Hamilton has nearly given up hope that she will ever find the love match she longs for. After all, the one man she does harbor feelings for—her closest friend, James—has made it perfectly clear he views her as just that: a friend. With James traveling half a world away and Nora's father pressuring her to marry for wealth and status, Nora is forced to set aside her desire for love and accept the future she has always dreaded.

Until James returns unexpectedly and Nora's feelings once again rush unbearably close to the surface. Determined to save what is left of their friendship, Nora ignores her own heart and allows herself to be swept up in the London Season, soon finding herself the object of two very different gentlemen's affections. Though she should be thrilled, both men come with a glaring fault: neither is the one man who holds her heart. When long-kept secrets are laid bare, Nora must face the fears that have plagued her all her life and decide what true love is worth.


My Review:
Secrets & Suitors is a Regency romance, or at least a historical romance as the exact time was vague. Nora is painfully shy and doesn't view herself as much of a catch, so she's not surprised that her male best friend doesn't love her romantically and is surprised that two titled men start pursuing her. She longs to marry for love because her own parents seem nearly strangers, so she's shocked to learn their marriage was a love match. Healing comes to her family as she learns about what went wrong in their marriage, but it's also obvious to her that loving can be too heartbreaking. Maybe a comfortable home with a man who respects her is a better choice after all.

I cared about what happened to the main characters. They acted realistically and were complex. Nora grew as a person and learned from her mistakes. James helped bring out the best in her and genuinely wanted her to be happy and what was best for her. There was no bad language or sex. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable romance.

Former Army Night Stalker Rick Jordan usually has his camp for foster children to himself during the winter months. But someone has visited recently--leaving a trail of blood. One of the two clues left behind tips Rick off to the identity of his visitor, who is missing and may be on the run from danger. Rick hires private investigator Heather Shields to find the missing man and help him decipher the remaining clue. Except someone doesn't want them to succeed--and will stop at nothing to keep them from finding the truth.


My Review:
Dark Ambitions is a Christian romantic suspense novel. It's the third book in a series, but it also works as a stand-alone novel.

The main characters were likable and acted in realistic ways. Ex-police officer Heather was an engaging character and capable investigator. Rick admired her ability and was attracted to her, so he often came along to help with the investigation. The suspense came from the danger to anyone who might know a secret that whodunit wanted kept silent. Three people with slightly different motives were "bad guy" point of view characters, so we know why people are being murdered: a man who is running for political office has a secret in his past that would ruin his chances. But we still must guess who is behind the murders.

We mainly saw the character's Christian faith through how they treated people and what they cared about. There were no sex scenes or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable novel.

Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
A Christmas party is punctuated by a gunshot under a policeman's watchful eye. A jewel heist is planned amidst the glitz and glamour of Oxford Street's Christmas shopping. Lost in a snowstorm, a man finds a motive for murder. This collection of mysteries explores the darker side of the festive season--from unexplained disturbances in the fresh snow, to the darkness that lurks beneath the sparkling decorations. With neglected stories by John Bude and E.C.R. Lorac, as well as tales by little-known writers of crime fiction, Martin Edwards blends the cosy atmosphere of the fireside story with a chill to match the temperature outside.


My Review:
The Christmas Card Crime and Other Stories is a short story collection of 11 mysteries set in England and written from 1909 to 1965. The mysteries were set at Christmas time, or at least in winter. Some of the stories had the detective as the point of view character, but some were from the villain's point of view. Most were told as they happened, but a few were the detective telling about the case after it was finished. While whodunit in most of the mysteries was either obvious or not guessable (due to lack of necessary clues until the reveal), a few of these had clues and were guessable. The enjoyment mainly came from watching a detective work through a tough mystery to solve it. There was no sex. There was some bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable mystery collection.

The included mysteries:
A Christmas Tragedy by Baroness Orczy
By the Sword by Selwyn Jepson
The Christmas Card Crime by Donald Stuart

Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Run off the road, investigative journalist Emma Lyons awakens with no memory of who she is or what happened. And researching her own past with Deputy Liam McCourt quickly leads to a killer who wants them silenced. Branded outsiders in a sleepy Texas town full of dark secrets, can they escape an unknown threat dead set on robbing Emma of her past—and future?


My Review:
Killer Amnesia is a Christian romantic suspense novel. I'm a little tired of suspense novels based around amnesia, but I decided to give this one a try anyway. Emma survives a potentially fatal hit-and-run but can't remember who was in the other vehicle or what true crime she was looking into for her next book. Who wants her dead? And not only is someone trying to kill her before her memory returns but that person is setting up her and the detective to take the blame for several murders.

The suspense came from trying to survive while uncovering whodunit and also from the detective potentially being called away to testify in court at any time. Emma was brave and knew some self-defense, but she also knew when she could use some help. The hero felt like he wasn't worthy of her trust because he'd previously let someone down who had depended on him. The main characters were engaging, and I cared about what happened to them. They both questioned why God sometimes doesn't step in to prevent suffering but learned to trust God when life felt out of control. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this exciting novel.

Source: Review copy from the publisher.

Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Margaret Starling wasn't the sort of woman anyone expected to be murdered. She was on the advisory board of the London Angel Alms Society, she was an active member of St. Peter's Church, and, best of all, she was always willing to lend a hand to a friend or a neighbor in need of advice. She was also a wealthy upper-class widow. But money alone won't protect you when someone decides it's high time you met your maker.

Margaret's next-door neighbor considered her an odious busybody, the Reverend Reginald Pontefract wished she'd never set foot in St. Peter's, and half the advisory board of the London Angel Alms Society heartily hoped she'd come down with pneumonia before the next quarterly meeting.

All in all, Margaret wasn't as well regarded as she'd always thought she was. But Mrs. Jeffries and Inspector Witherspoon know that justice isn't a popularity contest, and they won't rest until they sift through the suspects to catch a sinister scrooge.


My Review:
Mrs. Jeffries and the Alms of the Angel is a historical mystery set in England in the 1890's. It's the thirty-eighth book in a series. You don't need to read the previous books to understand this one, and this book didn't spoil the whodunit of the previous books. The story wasn't heavily historical, though there were enough details to provide a historical feel. The characters were engaging and realistic, though not highly complex.

It's a clue-based puzzle mystery. The main characters asked good questions and followed up on leads. There were enough clues for a reader to figure out whodunit, especially since we know more about how the murder was done than the characters do. There was no sex. There was a minor amount of bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable mystery.

Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Obstetrician Dr. Sophie Savard returns home to the achingly familiar rhythms of Manhattan in the early spring of 1884 to rebuild her life after the death of her husband. With the help of Dr. Anna Savard, her dearest friend, cousin, and fellow physician, she plans to continue her work aiding the disadvantaged women society would rather forget.

As Sophie sets out to construct a new life for herself, Anna's husband, Detective-Sergeant Jack Mezzanotte calls on them both to consult on two new cases: the wife of a prominent banker has disappeared into thin air, and the corpse of a young woman is found with baffling wounds that suggest a killer is on the loose. In New York it seems that the advancement of women has brought out the worst in some men. Unable to ignore the plight of New York's less fortunate, these intrepid cousins draw on all resources to protect their patients.


My Review:
Where the Light Enters is an epic historical novel set in 1884 in Manhattan. I didn't realize this continued the story in "The Gilded Hour," which I haven't read. This book thoroughly spoiled events in the previous book, and I'd recommend reading them in order. The first 6% of the story was simply newspaper articles, telegrams, and letters that update the reader on what has been going on with the characters since the end of the previous book. The story then became a narrative, though with some letters and newspaper articles thrown in.

The historical details were interesting and often drove the story, but there were too many story lines going on (including some ongoing from the previous book). It felt like the author wanted to tell too many stories at once. We have the story of Dr. Anna Savard and Dr. Sophie Savard facing prejudice as women doctors (and, in Sophie's case, for also being part Native American). And of Detective-Sergeant Jack Mezzanotte and his partner trying to solve a series of difficult cases. And of everything Sophie has to do to set up house as a widow and to start a scholarship program for colored women who want to become doctors. And the struggles of a young woman who's currently studying to become a doctor. And of each patient they see. And more.

The serial killer case was solved, but it was not the focus of the story until nearly the end and it didn't end in a satisfying way (like in a mystery genre. The killer deserved to hang as the killer made the choice to hurt those who never hurt the killer, but the main characters blamed the person who abused the killer). There was no graphic sex (as in, 'he kissed her (usually covered body part)' type descriptions). There was a minor amount of bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this novel to those who really enjoy immersive historical detail and who won't mind the epic length.
