Frankie Butts Heads with a Four-Legged Witness
Frankie Chandler’s wedding to Detective Martin Bowers is just weeks again when he is involved in an accident. His colleagues won’t tell Frankie anything about what happened, and the doctor is being vague about his condition. So, Frankie sets out to figure things out on her own. When she finds the accident site, she determines that there was a witness – a goat. Can she make sense of the visions she is getting from the goat to solve the case?

Quite obviously, there is a lot of fun to be had here, and I laughed many times as I was reading. Some of that came from Martin’s two sisters who show up in Frankie’s life. However, I found that this subplot didn’t quite develop in a satisfactory way. The mystery started out strongly and kept me engaged, but the ending was so rushed that some whys for a major part of the plot got overlooked. I did enjoy spending time with Frankie again and watching her growth. Fans of the series will enjoy this one, but it is a weaker entry in the series.

In the wake of a failed rebellion in Galilee, we join several pilgrams to Jerusalem. The first in 9 year old Jude and his younger sister, recent orphans. The second is 12 year old Yeshua. What will happen when they all get there? Even though the story was familiar, I got drawn in by the characters. Unfortunately, I didn't like how they ended the book at all.
