Circle of Vengeance by Ramona Richards GIVEAWAY!

 

Twenty-five years ago, a body was discovered in the Turney family barn--and the locals are all too ready to believe that killing blood ran through their veins. Every Turney came under suspicion, their reputations crumbled to pieces, and with no convictions, no one has ever been cleared.
Daughter Jill, now a Chicago lawyer, is ready for this case to be solved and for her broken family to be repaired at last. Who better to find the answers than cold-case P.I. Star Cavanaugh? But as Star begins to dig into generations-old secrets, the killer resurfaces to make sure none of those skeletons leave the closet--no matter what the cost.

As the danger mounts, Star again joins forces with police chief, Mike Luinetti, and begins to uncover truths that the whole town has kept hidden. But becoming the target of the determined killer isn't the way Star wants to find the answers. Now it's a race to solve the case before it becomes a matter of her life or death.

Circle of Vengeance (Star Cavanaugh): Richards, Ramona: 9780825447471: Amazon.com: Books

I come from a long line of storytellers, and I grew up sitting on the front porch listening to my parents, grandparents, and a wide selection of aunts and uncles spinning yarns that would raise eyebrows and disturb sleep. Naturally, I wanted to do it for a living.

I love stories and books and readers and listeners, and I'm blessed to have been able to spend my life around them. These days, I'm a speaker, writer, and editor, and my latest book is My Mother’s Quilts (Worthy Publishing), which is a devotional written about and around the quilts I inherited from my mother. My latest is a small-town crime novel, Murder in the Family. I've written six novels for Love Inspired Suspense, and have devotionals available from Abingdon and Barbour Books.

I'm the associate publisher for Iron Stream Media, although I've been an editor for Abingdon Press, Thomas Nelson, Rutledge Hill Press, and Ideals magazine. I've freelanced for more than a dozen other publishers and have edited more than 500 publications, including fiction, trade nonfiction, magazines, scripts, poetry, Bibles and biblical reference works, study guides, curriculum, and how-to manuals.

Essentially, I'll write or edit just about anything. I'm also a speaker for writer's conferences and women's groups.

My Thoughts...

What a storyteller Richards is. The storyline and the suspense are unbelievable.  This is book two in the series, but it can be read as a standalone. Crime novel fans are going to enjoy this one.

Burying Daisy Doe By Ramona Richards GIVEAWAY!

 No cold case is more important than the one that destroyed her own family

Every small town has one unsolved case that haunts its memory, festering for generations below the surface with the truth of humanity’s darkness. Star Cavanaugh is obsessed with the one that tore her family apart.

Over sixty years ago, Daisy Doe was murdered and discarded outside Pineville, Alabama, buried without a name or anyone to mourn her loss. When Star’s father tried to solve the case, he was also killed. Now a cold-case detective with resources of her own, Star is determined to get to the bottom of both crimes. But she’ll have to face an entire town locked in corruption, silence, and fear--and the same danger that took two other lives. The only people in town she can trust are her grandmother and the charming Mike Luinetti, and both of them trust a God Star isn’t sure she believes in. Can Christians so focused on the good really help her track down this evil?

With an irresistible combination of sharp suspense, faith, humor, and authentic regional flavor, Burying Daisy Doe will draw fans of Terri Blackstock, Margaret Maron, Jaime Jo Wright, and J. T. Ellison.

My Thoughts...

You will be guessing until the very end. Richards needs to write this genre from now on. She really outdid this story. I was done reading it before i know it. The pages flew by, I had to find out the whole story. I will say it will keep you guessing.

4 stars and I recommend this book.

If you think this cover is beautiful, wait until you see inside this devotional full of pictures of quilts. This pictures and the devotions along with the prayer starters are fabulous. I love this first thing every morning. And wrapped in a homemade Amish quilt while reading it was the best.

I love the saying that A quilt is love that serves a purpose.

The devotions were fun and easy reads and at the end of each one was a prayer starter.

This would make a fantastic gift for loved ones.

I plan to give them as gifts this year.

I gave this devotional 4 stars and I suggest it as a great gift.

I was given a copy of this devotional by Fly By Promotions and the publisher for my honest review.
