Summary: Hard to put down
Comment: I enjoyed reading Cristina Sumners first mystery Crooked Heart and dificulty putting it down. The characters in the book were enjoyable and when you think you know who the killer is, she twists things around. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys a good 'Who Done It Mystery'.

Summary: A clever traditional mystery
Comment: Tom Holder, Police Chief of a small town in New Jersey, has several problems. First, a woman is missing and feared harmed--possibly dead. Her husband is discovered drunk and depressed refusing to discuss the disappearance with the police. Second, Tom is stuck in a dead marriage and harbors feelings of affection for a local Episcopal priest, Rev. Kathryn Koerney who feels much the same as Tom. Yet, proper behavior requires they keep their feelings secret from each other. Nonetheless, Tom elicits Kathryn's help in trying to discover why the woman is missing and whom, if anyone, is responsible.
CROOKED HEART is a clever traditional mystery with engaging characters and an idyllic locale. The mystery, itself, is very well thought out and, in the end, quite well done. However, the story never truly captured my full interest and, in the end, proves to be quite forgettable. The bottom line: a good read.

Summary: nice twist
Comment: The murder is not the main thing in this book. You know who the killer is very quickly but the tentative romance between the sheriff and the minister drives the book foreward. You have a nice man (but no saint) who is in a very bad marriage and you have an earnest, religious, opinionated and outspoken woman who knows he's married. What will they do? How on earth can there be a happy ending for them? That's what kept me reading. The plot was only so-so but the characters are great.
