Taken By Storm by Jan Fields - A Book Review

   

Sarah Morgan is preparing so solve a new mystery in Port Huron, but another comes along that she may not be as prepared for. Beth Brewster, a local historian and storyteller, approaches Sarah about looking into a family mystery that two previous generations have been unable to solve, a mystery involving a promise made by Beth’s great grandmother that has remained unfulfilled. Beth’s family would truly love to be able to keep the promise for the recipient’s family, but her identity remains a mystery. Sarah notices a community blessing box outside the library where she first met Beth, and quickly pursues getting one placed outside her store in order to help those in her community experiencing hunger. When the box is vandalized, she is at a loss as to who would do such a thing and how to determine their identity.

The main theme of Taken By Storm revolves around displaying the character of God through acts of service. This is something many think of during the holiday season, but opportunities abound year round. This book is an entertaining, cozy mystery, and is one of my top two favorites of this series thus far. It also has the potential of being very inspiring for those who allow themselves to thoughtfully reflect on the theme.

I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy of Taken By Storm from Guideposts via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
