    This review was written for Unforeseeable, Road to Kingdom Series #3.
    The small Mennonite community named Kingdom has had its share of difficulties over the years, but their peaceful existence is shaken to the core by the discovery of a murder victim left along the only road into Kingdom. The murder of the young woman has residents fearful of what lies beyond or possibly within their isolated haven from the outside world. The lives of Kingdom's people are intertwined by their association through their local church pastored by a young single man, Levi Housler, who has been facing disapproval by older members of the fellowship. His marriage to Callie Hoffman has been delayed, and the wedding date will have to be changed once again in light of the sinister activities surrounding the community. Callie's past is buried beneath layers of self-protective defenses. Both Levi and Callie's best friend have witnessed the changes since childhood, and seek to assist Callie toward healing and the self discovery of God's purpose for her life.

    This is the third in the Kingdom series, and I'm sorry to see the series end. Nancy Mehl has produced a trio of Mennonite suspense stories that keep the reader entertained throughout each book. Unforeseeable is no exception. The characters in this book are well developed and believable, and the developments throughout this book are unpredictable and suspenseful. There is unseen drama and heartrending circumstances that keep this story progressing at a fast clip making it difficult to set this book aside. The author has a gift for producing a gripping and well-told story of a peaceful community of people, and the affect that the outside world imposes upon them.

    This book was just as good a mystery as any on the top 10 sellers list! It is book three in a series but I don't feel like you need to read the others to enjoy the suspense in this one. I liked that the main characters had depth to them and really thought before they spoke. The interaction of the townspeople is very well written. I gave this book 5/5 stars. I would recommend the book to anyone who enjoys Christian fiction, suspense stories, and even Amish fiction.

    I would like to thank the publisher for the copy of this book I enjoyed reading. I gave an honest review based on my opinion of what I read.

    There are women turning up dead and while the people of Kingdom know they have to be careful, none have happened to anyone they know or near Kingdom. That changes when two bodies are discovered on the road leading into Kingdom and then one body of a woman they know, she was raised in Kingdom and had left years ago to get married, her husband is now a deputy sheriff. Things are coming too close for comfort.

    Not only is it getting closer, Callie Hoffman and others are letting their minds run wild and suspecting some of their close friends and neighbors. When Levi Housler's book about the Anabaptist Martyrs was discovered on the body of one woman people do a lot of talking and wondering. Levi is the new pastor of Kingdom Mennonite Church and Callie's betrothed.

    Callie has been going through some personal problems and Levi has been busy with a lot of counseling so they haven't been able to spend a lot of time together and they both seem to be changing. When Levi's book is found and he seems to be keeping a secret Callie has suspicions, and he isn't the only one she suspects.

    This series only got better as I read it, this was a great book with more than one mysterious thing going on. I would encourage you to read these books in order to get the full story, you won't be disappointed. Nancy did a fantastic job on this whole series.

    I had my own little mystery going on with this book, kind of, lol. I read it on my Kindle because I got it from Net Galley and for some reason any word that had double "f's" in it was missing the letters. Most of the time I automatically put them in as I was reading but sometimes they didn't appear "in my mind", lol and I would find myself trying to figure out the word, then I'd laugh and say to myself, "Oh, yeah, that is 'diicult', 'stuing', or 'o', get the idea, lol, difficult, stuffing, or off. I still really enjoyed the book!

    This review was written for Unforeseeable, Road to Kingdom Series #3.
    In Unforeseeable, author Nancy Mehl once again takes us to the quaint Mennonite town of Kingdom, with its cozy café, quilt shops, knee-deep, snow covered landscape, and the deep rapport of townsfolk. But soon an unforeseeable enemy hovers over Kingdom, creating a shadow of evil over this once peaceful community.

    Callie Homan is engaged to the young, Mennonite pastor of Kingdom, Levi, and works in the town's quaint café with her best friend, Lizzie. Callie has painful childhood memories that she has kept buried deep within, causing her to have self doubts and a lack of confidence. She has always done what everyone has expected of her, even down to her relationship with God. Soon she even questions Levi's motives of proposing to her. Callie and her friends are terrified to be alone when the sheriff reveals that a serial killer is on the loose, just as a disastrous snowstorm blows into town. Can Levi and her friend, Lizzie, save her from herself and the murderer as well? Will Callie discover who she really is, and find God for herself?

    Nancy Mehl is a master of suspense, and I could barely put this one down until I found out whodunit! But underlying the suspense is also a wonderful, tender story of God's inner healing of an abused young woman that brought tears to my eyes. If you love a novel with non-stop, heartracing excitement, twists and turns, and romance---this is definitely the book for you!

    This review was written for Unforeseeable, Road to Kingdom Series #3.
    This book is just as wonderful a read as the first 2 in this series. As a Mennonite community in Kansas, Kingdom seems like a safe and protected town. When a body is found just outside the town, the townspeople of Kingdom feel the community they have worked so hard to build, threatened once again to the outside world. Callie Hoffman has grown up in the town of Kingdom and is now engaged to the new Mennonite pastor, Levi Housler. When evidence is found that points to the idea of someone inside the town of Kingdom may be to blame for the murder of the body, townspeople begin to speculate if they can keep their small town protected for much longer.

    Levi, Callie and the people of Kingdom face a dangerous winter storm. Callie is put in some dangerous, and life threatening situations.

    This book shares how Callie faces some issues from her childhood, and has to deal with and learn to move forward with her choices. Levi and Callie are put in some situations where the "right" choice isn't always the easy choice, but because of their faith in God, they are able to make it through those situations with the Lord's help.

    This mystery is a not predictable, as it kept me guessing. I would say this is my favorite book in this series. I love that some of the characters from previous stories make a reappearance in this 3rd book. Although, you don't have to read these books in sequence, I would highly recommend reading them all. These books are great! Nancy Mehl has a great talent for capturing the reader and getting them hooked in the story and before you know it, can't put the book down.

    I received a complimentary copy of this book in return for my honest review. The opinions shared in this review are soley my responsibility.
