    "Advice to Jack".

    A rather cryptic note; embedded into the chest of a well respected solicitor, who was found murdered in his hotel room before he could keep an appointment with Drew Farthering about an adaptation to Drew's will. And thus begins a string of unsolved murders, seemingly unconnected except for the mysterious notes embedded into the heart of each victim with . . . . . beautiful antique hat pins?

    Accepted into the inner circle of the local Chief Inspector's investigations, due to his superior sleuthing skills, English socialite Drew Farthering begins a chase that may tragically lead him a little too close to home. Without a doubt, Farthering Place is where Drew's heart lies, for the beautiful American woman whom Drew is fairly hopeful will one day become his wife, (unless her rather annoying aunt finds a way to whisk Madeline back to the States) remains in a cottage on the property.

    Enjoy this delightful, but terribly intriguing murder mystery, with its series of twists and turns set amidst just enough sweet romantic banter to smooth over the rough edges of a serial killer who has managed to commit "death by the book".

    Oh, this author is devious! Her plots are complicated, baffling, with lots of twists. The Christianity is solid but deftly and naturally woven into the story, and it never gets "preachy." I bought this book only because it was on sale, but enjoyed it so thoroughly that I went back and ordered the first and third in the series -- and they are even more maddening, twists and turns and loads of clues that lead to multiple suspects and then at the end -- surprise! The continuing characters are completely likable, and I enjoy the setting in 1930s England. Deftly written, thoroughly enjoyable -- I heartily recommend them!

    Another enjoyable Drew Farthering mystery. Wonderfully quirky characters abound and the mystery is afoot! If it weren't for the murders, solving the case would be fun for Drew. I enjoyed following him as he worked with the police to solve yet another mystery that has landed in his lap. Full review at my website.

    I am totally intrigued by these mystery-loving characters in a small English village in the 1930's. This story took several twists and turns that the reader will not see coming, which makes it a fun read. The Christian faith of the three main characters, and their care and concern for others (which is what gets them into investigating murders), is a big plus.

    Death by the Book

    A Drew Farthering Mystery

    By Julianna Deering

    When Drew Farthering walks into a murder scene he is drawn into a mystery that is drawing closer to the Village of Farthering St. John. What game is the killer playing? And what do the cryptic messages pinned to the victims mean?

    With no discernible link between the victims, Drew is putting all his sleuthing skills to work. All the while he is trying convince Madeline to accept his proposal of marriage. But when Aunt Ruth comes to save Madeline's virtue she seems determined to pack Madeline up and on the next ship home.

    As the danger draws closer who will be the next victim? Nick? Madeline? Aunt Ruth? Drew?

    Take a small step back in time to England for a mystery that just may give you a spine tingling shiver or two. Best read in a darkened room shortly before bed for full enjoyment. And a spot of tea is just the thing.

    I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher Bethany House through The Book Club Network in exchange for my honest review.
