I realize this is an OLD series to most of you, but it is new to me. As I've shared before I had not read Christian fiction in years and years. WOW - has it improved! I won't share the author of the last Christian mysteries I had read - the Dani Ross series. He writes some good things...but well...I read them because I love mystery, but the plots got very predictable...and there was none of that zip that Tamar Myers has to make me overlook the predictable plot....and no question about Mike and Norman.... WAIT a minute! This is a review of The Newpointe 911 series by Terri Blackstock. I chose to read these books first as I 
could tell they were mystery. Are all of Terri's series mystery?
I am enjoying this series. I really liked Private Justice. I had narrowed it down to the same two suspects that Terri led us to.... then I chose the wrong one. I loved the mystery, suspense, the characters. I like the way Terri ads an "afterword" to clearly present the gospel and/or her points, instead of trying to weave it ALL into her plot line.
Shadow of Doubt was also very good. The story line was wrenching. I wasn't as impressed in that it was so EASY to figure out the perp...but it was still an excellent read.
I'm currently reading Word of Honor and I'm loving it. I don't think our library has all of the books in the series....guess I better go shopping on PBS. Oh, and yeah, this are part of my fall into reading challenge...but I've still not posted my official post or signed up. LOL

I love Terri Blackstock. Not all of hers are mystery, but most are. Her new series is really good. Something Light in each title. Very thought provoking!
She also wrote a series with Bev LaHaye?? with 4 books. It wasn't a mystery either. But very good, imo.
I've started a new series about the Grace Chapel Inn. I'm in the first book (can't remember the name) and so far am liking it OK.
I'm always on the look-out for something new to read. And mysteries are my favorite. I'm reading James Patterson right now, which is not Christian, but I like them OK.
I'll be waiting to hear what you think about your new series. LOL
Back Home Again is the name of the first one. I am really enjoying it. It is quaint. Kinda reminds me of the Mitford series.
The first book starts with the death of the family's father. The 3 daughters all come together for the funeral and decide to turn the family home into a b&b. The father was the pastor of the little church next door. It is very quaint.
This series is written by different people. We'll see how I like that! But the gal that recommended it to me said it is hardly noticeable. So we'll see.
I'm almost finished with book 1 and it is a nice, easy read.
Sounds like an interesting book! I'll have to look into it after I read the Redemption series.
I like Terri's Restoration series -- the first book was the best: Last Light.
I've read all the others too, the Cape Refuge series is pretty good. The older books, Suncoast Chronicles or something, not so much (I think they're pre-salvation maybe).
