Deadly Evidence is the first book in Elizabeth Goddard‘s Mount Shasta Secrets series. I ended up reading the second book, Covert Cover-Up, first, so I technically read them out of order, but it didn’t matter in this case. Deadly Evidence was still just as entertaining. Plus, I don’t think reading the second book before the first gave away any spoilers. That said, if you have the chance, I always recommend reading a series in order.

Book Review | A Portrait of Loyalty
Bethany House, Books Review, Historical Fiction, Novels, Romance, Writing SpotReading A Portrait of Loyalty by Roseanna M. White felt like the ending of an era.

It was a fitting and beautiful culmination to this group of books.
