Thoughts of a Reader

I have read several books by this author. This book involves two cold cases that become linked together. Part of the mystery is whether these two cases were committed by the same person. Though I had my suspicions of one particular person almost from the beginning, there were still some red herrings that were thrown in that made me question if I was right. It also made me wonder if there was one person involved or more than one. I thought this plot did a good job of talking about how carrying guilt and blame around for years can take its toll on you and also get in the way of your relationship with God as well as others. This novel was really well written and I definitely recommend it.

This is the fourth book I have read by this author. This book was really good. The suspense and mystery started from the very beginning. I really tried to solve all the different pieces of the two puzzles and I figured the cold case out but not until they almost told me the answer. As for the recent crimes, I did not get that one at all. The secondary characters in this book really added to my enjoyment of it. The interactions between Grayson and Clay were some of my favorite parts. I found myself feeling really sad and sorry for Roger. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good mystery.

This novel is the sequel to Sense and Suitability. This plot revolves around Arianna Reeves, the sister to Simon from the first book, and Thomas Bridges, the cousin of Emmeline from the first book. This novel read a little slowly for me because the chapters were long. However, I still thoroughly enjoyed the plot as well as the interactions between the main characters. I also really enjoyed the interactions involving Emmeline. Even though Regency is not one of my preferred genres, I really did enjoy reading this novel. The author has a way of grabbing your attention and keeping it. Even though you do not have to have read the first to enjoy this one, I would recommend reading it before this one as it makes it more enjoyable in my opinion. I definitely recommend this book.

I have read two other books by Kimberly Woodhouse but this is my first time reading anything by Sarah Hamaker or Jayna Breigh. This novel is a collection of three novellas, Do You See What I See? by Sarah Hamaker, Do You Hear What I Hear? by Jayna Breigh, and Do You Know What I Know? by Kimberly Woodhouse.

Do You See What I See? by Sarah Hamaker is the first book I have read by her. It revolves around Oakleigh Wright and Joseph Talbot. They dated years ago but are no longer together when Oakleigh calls him for help. Of course, he came to her aid without hesitation. This book has it all. It has suspense, mystery, and romance. It grabs your attention at the beginning and never lets it go.

Do You Hear What I Hear? by Jayna Breigh is the first book I have read by her. I was excited when I started this novella to realize it is set in Asheville, North Carolina at Christmas. I love that area at Christmas. This story revolves around Elise Sinclair and her ex-boyfriend, Jack Grant. The way they are re-introduced to each other after thirteen months apart made for an interesting scene. In my opinion, unlike the first novella in the collection, this novella was only a romance and not romantic suspense. It was still really good though.

Do You Know What I Know? by Kimberly Woodhouse is not the first book I have read by this author. I enjoyed the other books I have read by her. This novella had both mystery and romance. It also had a little bit of suspense but some of the plot that revolved around the suspense felt like a secondary story.

Overall, I enjoyed all three of these novellas and would recommend them.
