by Benedict Brown (Author), George Blagden (Narrator), Storm Publishing (Publisher) An Audiobook I enjoyed reading this fourth book in Benedict Brown‘s Marius Quin series because it is well-written, it has humor, it’s a “Cozy,” and the mystery is complicated enough that I don’t know the bad guy right off. This series is written by the same author as the…
BY Hope Callaghan (Author) SKAGWAY SLEUTHS is the second of Hope Callaghan‘s Cruise Ship Director, Millie’s adventures in Alaska.

by James Ponti (Author), Brian Holden (Narrator), Tantor Audio (Publisher) James Ponti is hands down one of the most terrific kids’ books writers out there. Framed! and Vanished! are the first two in this series, and then this one. I’m glad he tied up all the loose ends of the first two stories in this stupendous finale. Very satisfying! …

by Alan B MacDonald ON AN OUTBOUND TIDE is the story of a man with wanderlust who God used for His Kingdom. Romans 10:17 says that faith/salvation in Jesus Christ comes by “hearing the Word of God.” God used Alan MacDonald and Wycliffe Bible Translators to take the Word of God to the peoples of…
