One of the best books I've read this year is actually a collection of four novellas by four of the best mystery/suspense writers currently publishing.

LDS Fiction: Pioneering Along the Muddy River
It seems appropriate this week to look back at some of our pioneering ancestors. One group we don't hear a lot about were largely the next generation from those who settled the Salt Lake Valley. Brigham Young was anxious to establish a solid hold in the West by establishing communities outside of the Salt Lake Valley. One group sent to establish one of these communities was sent to the hot, desert area along the Muddy River. The desert climate and poor soil added to this group of pioneers' hardships.
LDS Fiction: Murder and Suspense
Two new novels filled with mystery and suspense are highlighted for July reading. "Secrets Never Die" by Laurie Lewis is contemporary and introduces the reader to a forest lookout in the Northwest and to a small Southern town where something doesn't add up. The Redgrave Murders by A.L. Sowards is also filled with secrets and murders amid the upheaval faced by returning World War II veterans.
LDS Fiction: When Authors Add a Twist
Two well-known and much-loved authors have added new and unusual twists to their best-selling repertories. Nancy Campbell Allen, author of a number of great historical novels, has written her third steampunk novel which meshes suspense, regency romance, and a fantasy form of science fiction together. Sarah Eden continues her Jonquil Brothers series with a Regency novel featuring a vicar.
LDS Fiction: Two New Novels
Two new novels from different times and places will appeal to different readers. "Wrong Place Wrong Time" by E. James Harrison is a suspenseful mystery while "Love in Disguise" by Anneka R. Walker is a classic Regency.
LDS Fiction: Two Historical Novels
These two Historical novels are both set in America in the 1800s, one at the beginning of the century and the other toward the end. They are also set over two thousand miles apart. They both deal with tragedies causing deep emotional pain and personal strength and determination.
LDS Fiction: Books that are Definitely Different
The books I've chosen to review today don't fit the usual mold. They're well written, hold the reader's attention, but fall into the "love 'em or hate 'em" categories of those who read them.
