TO WRITE A WRONG by MY FAVORITE JEN TURANO - SO SO GOOD!

Hello friends. Friday night I was able to go out with my sister to a "Surviving Summer" ladies night out event with my church; the 1st opportunity I've had to do something like that in a good long while!  It was so wonderful to enjoy sweet fellowship, a meal, play games, make new friends and listen to praise reports and testimonies of God's amazing favor and love.  It left me smiling ear to ear & with my soul refreshed.

 You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our hearts, to be known and read by all. And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. [2Co 3:2-4 ESV]

Then, I happened to check NetGalley & found out my favorite author's next book had shown up! Yippy-skippy!

 ***OH MY GRACIOUS! SO, SO GOOD!! ***

I think every time a chapter ended I couldn't believe how good the ending was! Why can't everyone write so well? ;)

Tea Moment: Taking a sip of tea that had long gone cold, she grimaced and set aside the cup before she flexed her fingers. Placing them over the keys of her Remington typewriter, affectionately named Almira...fervently hoped that something of worth would spring to mind to write."             

Quotable: "Herman's brows drew together. "I'm a fiction writer, Miss Beekman.  And even though I write murder mysteries, those murders, as well as the heroes who vanquish the villains in the end, are merely a figment of my imagination.  I'm far too responsible to go traipsing off to investigate an unknown noise because that could have gotten me murdered in my own house, or worse, seen the members of my staff put in harm's way."”

"Whatever else he'd been about to say got stuck on the tip of his tongue when a large painting hanging over one of the buffet tables suddenly swung open. A second after that, Daphne plunged through the large opening... tumbled head over heels...landing right on top of the buffet table..."

"...at times she longed to share her love of the written word with someone who loved words as well, someone who wouldn't mock her for choosing a profession that wasn't considered acceptable for women..."

I love how in the heat of a crucial moment, the author takes time to add nuance and zingers! I laughed so many times! ;) "Cooper rolled his eyes before he muttered something about Daphne being obstinate, although he didn't mention anything about Ann being obstinate, then strode forward and out of the trees."

Happy to see the author used the correct wording of "champing at the bit" instead of chomping. Well done!

Faith moment: …God had never ignored her prayers for courage and that He'd continued to answer them to this day.

Daphne's mind is constantly in motion, solving problems and puzzling things out.  Sometimes it spills out from her mouth and it's fun to hear and see how others perceive her.  Herman gets caught up in her process and as they are both writers, enjoys it immensely. They fit so well together and are a delight to read about, as is the entire mystery with its many twists.

I always have trouble summarizing Jen's books because there is just SO MUCH goodness to share!  Buy it, read it, enjoy! :) 

I was gifted a book from the author, in exchange for my honest opinion. All opinions are my own without compensation or further expectation.

PUBLISHERS SYNOPSIS:  Miss Daphne Beekman is a mystery writer by day, inquiry agent by night. Known for her ability to puzzle out plots, she happily works behind the scenes for the Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency, staying well away from danger. However, when Mr. Herman Henderson arrives on the doorstep of the agency, desperate for someone to investigate numerous attempts on his life, Daphne soon finds herself in the thick of a case she's determined to solve.

Mr. Herman Henderson is also a mystery writer, but unlike the dashing heroes he pens, he prefers living a quiet life, determined to avoid the fate of his adventurous parents, who perished while searching for the Lost City of Gold.

As the list of suspects grows and sinister plots are directed at Daphne, the situation quickly deteriorates, and a revealed secret jeopardizes their newfound affection. Only time will tell if Daphne will be able to regain Herman's trust and save both their lives.
