Wow! You see! The thing is that in Malaysia, we hardly join clubs such as book clubs. We actually have to do our own reading and judge the writer ourselves. During my free time, I would read story books especially when I love mystery books. So books I read are mostly mystery books. I have read some christian living novel books such as stories come from the Amish country. These books are very lightening and serene. Books that make you calm.


A Psychic Eye Mystery

by Victoria Laurie

Abby Cooper is a P.I., psychic intuitive. But her insight failed her when she didn't foresee the death of one of her clients-or that the lead investigator for the case is the gorgeous blind date she just met. Now, with the police suspicious of her abilities and a killer on the loose, Abby's future looks more uncertain than ever.

The latest book of this series is already out but I have not bought it yet. The title is Crime Scene. Don't miss it!


A Flower Mystery

by Kate Collins

Abby Knight is the proud owner of her hometown flower shop, but a new low-cost competitor is killing her profits-and a black SUV just rammed her vintage Corvette in a hit-and-run. She's determined to track down the driver, but when the trail turns deadly, the next flower arrangement might be for her own funeral.

The latest book of this series is already out but I have not bought it yet. The title is A Rose from the Dead. Don't miss it!

A Yellow Rose Mystery

by Leann Sweeney

The story is about when Abby discovered her gardener Ben, dead in the greenhouse one afternoon, the emptiness of her own life hits her like a glass of ice-cold Texas tea. Ever since her father died, she's been mooning around the pool, making herself as useful as a june bug on a daisy. When the sexy detective from the Houston P.D. tells her it was poison that killed Ben. Abby realises what she needs to do with herself : solve a murder. Little does she suspect that the answers to her questions about Ben's death will unlock secrets about her own past - and might change her entire future.......

I have not read the other book A Wedding to Die For. I will read it soon. There are some more books written by the same author in this series. And they are :

Shenandoah Sisters series

by Michael Phillips

In this first book in the Shenandoah Sisters series, Phillips, a prolific author and longtime CBA bookseller, offers a light historical novel with the flavor of young adult fiction. Mary Ann "Mayme" Jukes is a young African-American slave girl living in Shenandoah County, in North Carolina, in the 1860s. When marauding outlaw Confederate soldiers kill her family, she escapes to Rosewood, another plantation owned by the white family of Kathleen "Katie" Clairborne. Here, Mayme finds more devastation; 15-year-old Katie is the only person left alive. The girls become friends and together vow to run the plantation and keep the adults' deaths a secret until Katie comes of legal age to own the debt-ridden property. The book is mostly a collection of short, sketchy scenes, presumably setting up events for the next book in the series. Phillips's prose is simple and workmanlike, adeptly moving the events along. The reader is left with a few questions (the plantation is devastated, yet the girls have plenty of livestock and groceries), and the spiritual thread is fairly basic (God tells Mayme directly what to do, and they speak to each other in italics). The epilogue leaves the reader hanging until the promised second installment. Young evangelical Christian women looking for escapist historical fiction will find this passable, if not particularly memorable, entertainment.
