I love books that publish serially. However, I am very particular about reading them in order. That said, I signed up for Library Thing's Early Reviewer program, and the first book I received was the second in a series. [POWERS] by [[John B. Olson]] follows the book [Shade]. While I've not read the latter, the sequel stood alone as an intense and exciting read.
It is the first "Christian" mystery I've found worth my time. It's not that I'm against throwing a few Christian concepts into a book, but too many deteriorate to proselytizing, and then the story line falls. This was well-written, and the theme of good versus evil was laced with shades of grey, with characters that were human and not super human.
I am looking forward to the receipt of the first book, Shade. I expect I will add Olson to my list of 'must have' books.
Happy Reading
A little hodge-podge of this and that. The cobwebs of an old gal's mind. Why Maggie O'Guin? The ancestor I most identified with and whose birthday I share, my great grandmother, and one I wish I'd had the opportunity to know. Topics will range from profound to silly, from serious to whatever.
