I had so much fun choosing my top 5 books for my “best Christian/clean books where mystery-suspense meets women’s fiction” list. And the format the team at Shepherd.com uses is refreshing: no hype-laden book blurbs, no long reviews. Just book covers and brief answers to the question, “Why did I love this book?”

So click the image above to see which books I chose and why I loved them. Then explore around the site and see what’s there. I hope you find a new book-friend or two! (Or you can click here: shepherd.com/best-books/christian-books-with-mystery-and-womens-fiction)

Shepherd’s tag line is “Explore, discover, read.” They describe a visit to their site as “like wandering the aisles of your favorite bookstore.” You can search to see if your favourite authors have shared their top-5 lists, or look for books you love and find others like them. Or just type what kind of book you feel like reading at the moment and see what suggestions come up.

If you’re curious about what Shepherd’s all about, check out their article, “Who are you and why are you doing this?” (These folks are all about questions! And about helping readers find good books.)

And I should let you know:

Deadly Burden (Green Dory Inn Mystery #4) has been short-listed for The Word Awards! You can learn more about The Word Awards and view the short-list here: thewordguild.com/the-word-awards-winners-finalists. Winners will be announced September 14.

Wherever this finds you, thank you for opening my email and I wish you a lovely week with some time for a good book.

Until next time,
