Editorial Reviews

This is an excellent book that has stayed with me for days after I finished it. I was surprised to find out that the author is actually Mary Connealy, a Christian romance writer, who uses a pen name for her suspense novels. She did a great job using suspense and mystery. The relationship between the two main characters was a nice touch. The plot was very easy to become involved in, and as a mystery, it kept me guessing. The book has a Christian theme so you get the whodunit without all the gore. I really enjoyed it.

In a departure from her usual historical genre, Nealy has crafted a creepy tale of suspense and murder with just the right amount of romance to temper the drama. Keren's unique spiritual gift will keep readers riveted to the pages of this thrilling story.

Ten Plagues 4.1 5 7 7

This is an EXCELLENT book!! Ã¢ÂÂTurn to face God and the challenges of today, and let the past go.Ã¢ÂÂ (p. 125) There are dangerous consequences for those who cling to their pasts. Paul and Keren face those consequences head-on when they encounter a serial killer determined to reenact the ten plagues in the most grisly way imaginable! The race to figure out the Latin clues left behind by the killer lead the two main characters to face their own pasts, their own faith, their deepest heart-cry and challenge how they choose to live their faith on a day to day basis. What they must go through in their search for a deadly killer takes them on an unexpected journey to truth in their own lives as well! Mary Coneally has transformed her writing life with the release of her new novel, The Ten Plagues, using the pen name Mary Nealy. If you are a fan of suspense fiction, you MUST read this book! If you like to stay up nights racing to find out how a story will end, you MUST read this book! Mary has created something gritty, real and challenging in the suspense genre. She not only creates a breathtaking thrill ride, she deals with personal spiritual and emotional challenges that are common to all believers! I am hard pressed to tell you what I enjoyed most about the story. Every word was captivating! I made copious notes and underlined many passages while reading this book, and I know I will soon read it again. ItÃ¢ÂÂs that good! Make The Ten Plagues your first choice a book for the New Year! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!! December 27, 2011

Ten Plagues- my review Keren Collin, a competent detective for the Chicago PD has learned how to separate her emotions from her job. Paul Morris a former detective, now preacher, has the capability to draw others to him. Both are former coworkers. When a serial killer is discovered using the ten plagues of Egypt in the time of Moses in present day America, the two join forces along with others to try to save lives and to locate the person responsible for creating them. The killer targets the very people Paul has looked out for at the shelter. As Keren and Paul share their lives with each other they realize that time is running out and their lives may be in jeopardy as they struggle to bring peace and justice to their city. A intense journey that brings suspense, detective, romance and a bit of scifi together in this creative read. I found myself immersed into the plot and as it reached the climax I was glued to the book wondering what would happen. Fans of detective novels will surely enjoy this read. Character development, dialogue and scenery worked and I was challenged in my faith. I would recommend this novel to others but don't expect to finish it in an afternoon. Thanks to Barbour Publishing and Netgalley for the ARC for my review. December 15, 2011

Detective Novel Fans would love it... What could be better than a crime novel set in Chicago? A lot of things of course, but this one was a pretty decent read. A killer is reenacting the plagues of Egypt in some creative murders, and it is up to a female Chicago detective to stop him. With some help from locals, and a special gift, Keren Collins must figure out what is next, and help stop a crazy person from terrorizing the city. The book starts a little flat, and it seems somewhat disjointed in some places, but overall, it wasnÃ¢ÂÂt a bad way to spend an afternoon. I have read better, but I have also read worse, and with its clear Christian message, and its exploration of the ways in which Christ effects transformation in the life of a believer, it is definitely worth a look. If you are a fan of detective novels, this book probably would be a great read. For me, IÃ¢ÂÂm a little more of a sci-fi fan, and so in some places it just didnÃ¢ÂÂt work as well for me. That said, the plot is somewhat unpredictable (always a plus in a mystery) but not unsolvable, and there is enough suspense to make anyone stick around to the end, even if not everything is specifically to your liking. Overall, I enjoyed it enough that I would recommend it if someone were asking about it, but it's not the kind of book I would go out of my way to say "you gotta read this."

Supernatural Romantic Suspense I don't normally read thrillers or supernatural suspense, but I loved this book. I loved the way the romance was a big part of the story and flowed naturally. I loved that the supernatural elements were very believable and realistic, to my Christian way of thinking. The book made me want to double check all the windows and doors at night, but it was a really great, suspenseful thriller and lifted God up as supreme and greater than the evil in the world and greater than our fears and mistakes. If you like thrillers, especially supernatural ones, you will love this book. The hero and heroine were very believable as Christians struggling with their own humanity, past mistakes, and the very real evil around them threatening their faith. But they stood firm to the end, and it was a very satisfying read. I highly recommend it! November 7, 2011
