Latter-day Saint Fiction: Mysteries with a European Flair
During this era of quarantines and worry over a world-wide epidemic might be a good time for a little distraction. Two Mystery/Suspense novels with a European flair that will entertain and distract are Royal Heir by Traci Hunter Abramson and Deadly by Design by Paige Edwards.
Latter-day Saint Fiction: Suspense at its Best
Suspense lovers are going to enjoy these two suspense novels. Pitfall by Clair M. Poulson grabs our attention and our hearts from the first page with the introduction of a major character, a child orphaned before his second birthday. Out By Night continues the adventures of Frank Sawyer, a wanderer, who doesn't lack adventure, but seems to have serious commitment problems.
Latter-day Saint Fiction: Winning Women
Here are two great historical fictions that both explore women's role and place in society. Both are set in the West in the 19th century.
Latter-day Saint Fiction: Two Contemporaries with Western Settings
As my readers surely know I have a soft spot for Westerns, so when an author I greatly admire announced the publication of her contemporary Western I had to give it a try, even though it's written for a general market audience.
Latter-day Saint Fiction: A “Promising” Debut
With its Proper Romance line of romantic novels Shadow Mountain is publishing higher quality Regency novels than many of those which have flooded the "clean romance" market over the past decade. "Promised" by Leah Garriott, a debut author, is one such novel which delves deeper into her main character's head and heart than is customary for this genre.
Latter-day Saint Fiction: A Step Outside the Usual
This column includes a couple of books that don't fit the mold of those I usually review. Both are billed as children's or general books, but carry messages for any age including adults. I thought it would be fun to start off the new year with books meant to strengthen families, build faith, and aid in establishing a life-long love of reading.
