This series is my favorite by far. The language is clean, the descriptions are so on point you can almost feel the breeze and get totally lost in the words. Lori J.Laurel Falls, N.C., 2009: Life on the farm was pretty much one day the same as the next-until that stranger showed up. I'll never forget the first time I saw him and how everything changed after that. It might not have turned out so crazy if he'd known who he was. We figured that big gash on the back of his head stole his memory. But how did he get that wound? And who was after him?
It had seemed wrong to turn him away, especially since you might say I saved his life. But what he wrought on my life ... well, you can't imagine how much havoc a man without a past can wreak.
It wasn't 'til my friend Della Kincaid put her crime-reporter skills to work that we got to the bottom of everything. And I do mean bottom. Things sunk pretty low before we started getting at the truth. Abit Bradshaw

Interview with the Author
Q: Where does this sixth book pick up in the lives of Abit Bradshaw and Della Kincaid?
A: It's three years after the Bradshaw family's fateful trip to Ireland and England in Deep in the Forest. During that time, Abit has dealt with a lot of change in his life, especially once the stranger makes his way to his farm.
Q: What's new in the series?
A: The stranger who comes to town. That's a favorite plot theme of authors and screenwriters, but it never ceases to intrigue. This man with no memory kindles mystery, suspense, and imagination with all kinds of questions. Who is he and does he bring good or bad? Or both?
Q: Why should readers give this series a try?
A: Because these are serious mysteries without over-the-top violence. And readers tell me the character development makes them eager to read more: A pair of unforgettable crime-solving characters, one reader shared, and another wrote, I became intrigued by and attached to the characters -- Della, Abit, Alex, even the dog, Jake -- and their dialogue.
Compelling storyline of good people making their way in the world and helping others. Plenty of twists to keep the reader guessing. Believable characters with distinct personalities and thought-provoking dialogue. Bookzilla
