Customer Reviews

Hysterically Funny!!

Gayle Roper is one of my favorite authors, and this book is one of my absolute favorite books. As the third book in the series centering around Merry Kramer, this one is definetely the best. I laugh aloud at the same parts every time I reread this book.Merry is a great character, well written and someone you can sympathize with. She's spunky, and not a perfect person like characters in other Christian books are. The mystery is intriguing but the characters are the main reason I keep coming back to this series. Other characters, including Curt and Jolene are equally as entertaining. This is a very entertaining and uplifting book, and you don't have to worry about being preached to. My friend and I have very different reading tastes, but she loved this book just as much as I did! This is definetly a book to curl up on a winter day while drinking some hot chocolate!

Great Third Book

Merry is back for her third book, and she's still got what it takes to entertain. This book has everything you'd expect from the other two, great characters, great mystery, and personal problems for Merry that make life just a little more interesting. But she faces them all with her faith in the Lord, which helps her through everything. I was a little disappointed because the mystery takes a back seat to the plots involving abuse. Still, a very entertaining read that I plan to read many times myself.

Even wittier than Grafton!

Gayle Roper's Merry Kramer is one of the spunkiest, most loveable characters I've 'met' recently. She's got enough human foibles that I can relate to her, but she's clever and sharp enough that I admire her deeply. Roper's first-person style shows Merry Kramer off to full advantage and is perfect for this fast-paced story of adventure and intrigue. I couldn't put it down and smiled all the way through!

Delightful Mystery Book

This was another wonderful book by Gayle Roper! I have read all three in the series, and have enjoyed each one thoroughly. As with the others, I could not put it down until I had finished it! The author makes Merrileigh and other characters so believable and the stories so interesting. I strongly recommend the Amhearst Mysteries.
