As I mentioned in an earlier post, I'm not a big fan of most Christian fiction.This book looked interesting, so I decided to give it a try.
I liked it for the most part.
From the back cover:
She's not your average crime fighter!
Ivy Malone has a curiosity that sometimes gets her into trouble, and it's only aggravated by her discovery that she can easily escape the public eye.
So when vandals romp through the local cemetery, she takes advantage of her newfound anonymity and its unforeseen advantages as she launches her own unofficial investigation.
Despite her oddball humor and unconventional snooping, Ivy soon becomes discouraged by her failure to turn up any solid clues.
And after Ivy witnesses something ominous and unexplained, she can't resist putting her investigative powers to work again.
Even the authorities' attempts to keep Ivy out of danger and her nosy neighbor's match-making schemes can't slow her down.
But will the determination that fuels this persistent, quirky sleuth threaten her very safety?
My thoughts:
~Some things in the book were predictable, some were not.
~There was a bit of the cheesiness that is common in Christian fiction, but not too much.
~While not laugh out loud funny, the book is humorous
~It was a delightful read.
~Ivy is a very likeable character, as are many of the other colorful characters in this book.
It seems like each subsequent book builds on the previous one, so if you're interested in this series you should start with the first one.
I will definitely be reading more of these.
