Dubiosity by Christy Barritt

I was blessed to receive a copy of Dubiosity to review. I started it on December 26th before bed. I was so tired that I could not keep my eyes beyond the first couple of chapters.

So yesterday, I settled myself in my new chair in front of the wood burning stove, with my blanket and pillows. I did not move for hours as I read this romantic suspense.

Dang, Christy did it again!

She held my attention from cover to cover as the story of Savannah Harris unfolded page after page.

My only complaints:

1. I get nothing accomplished when reading Christy's books
2. They end way too soon and I have to wait for the next one

I have enjoyed every book I have ever read from Christy Barritt. Some I liked more than others. Dubiosity definitely goes into my "favorite" category.

Summary of Dubiosity

Savannah Harris vowed to leave behind her old life as an intrepid investigative reporter. But when a friend raises suspicions about two migrant workers who’ve gone missing from the sleepy coastal town Savannah calls home, her curiosity spikes. 

As ever more eerie incidents begin afflicting the area, each works to draw Savannah out of her seclusion and raise the stakes—for both Savannah and the surrounding community. Even as Savannah’s new boarder, Clive Miller, makes her feel things she thought long forgotten, she suspects he’s hiding something too, and he’s not the only one. Doubts collide in Savannah’s mind: Who can she really trust? 

As secrets emerge and danger closes in, Savannah must choose between faith and uncertainty. One wrong decision might spell the end…not just for her, but for everyone around her. 

Will she unravel the mystery in time, or will doubt get the best of her?

Reading in the Mornings

I love to read, although I didn’t discover this until I was in college and actually took the time to read a book just because.  I was always reading text books, reports or studies.  For the most part – BORING!

My husband does not share my love of reading – though he does enjoy me reading to him.  So…in the mornings before he goes to work: we cuddle up on the couch with a blanket in front of a fire, he sips his coffee and we embark on a journey together.

I absolutely love this time with him: after all, quality time is one of my love languages. 

We just finished reading a book by Max Lucado called Facing Your Giants.  He asked me to buy it after someone read a chapter from it at a men’s group. 

From the back cover:

You know your Goliath.  You recognize his walk.  The thunder of his voice.

He taunts you with the bills you can’t pay, people you can’t please, habits you can’t break, failures you can’t forget, and a future you can’t face.  But just like David, you can face your giant, even if you aren’t the strongest, the smartest, the best equipped, or the holiest.

David. You could read his story and wonder what God saw in him.  His life has little to offer the unstained, straight-A saint.  He fell as often as he stood, stumbled as often as he conquered.  But for those who know the sound of Goliath, David gives a reminder:

Focus on giants – you stumble.

Focus on God, your giants stumble.

If you’re ready to face your giants, let David’s story inspire you.  The same God who helped him will help you.

This book really got us to think and put some things into perspective. And I am sure it is one that we will pick up again one day. J

Random Acts of Murder by Christy Barritt

I started reading Random Acts of Murder the day I was supposed to make 12 pies (yes, 12) for Thanksgiving. I hated putting the book down and started my pies one hour and a half behind schedule. I could not wait to get back to that book!

I finished it within 24 hours and loved every minute of it. I was kind of sad when it ended because as of now there is no number 2 book in the series and this means I have to wait (not my favorite thing).

I have not enjoyed a book that much since the Squeaky Clean Mysteries by the same author.

I love Christy Barritt's styles and her plots. She is genuine, funny and one heck of a writer. I have read most of her books. Some I have enjoyed more than others and Random Acts of Murder is certainly at the top of my "Christy Barritt Favorite Book List."

If you like clean suspense/mysteries with a touch or romance, you'll love this book!

Summary of Random Acts of Murder

When Holly Anna Paladin is given a year to live, she embraces her final days doing what she loves most—random acts of kindness. But one of her extreme good deeds goes horribly wrong, implicating Holly in a string of murders. Holly is suddenly in a different kind of fight for her life. 

Only two other people know Holly was at the site of the murder, and one of them is the killer. Making matters stickier is the fact that the detective assigned to the case is her old high school crush and present day nemesis. 

The clocking is ticking as Holly is forced to play a dangerous game. Will Holly find the killer before he ruins what’s left of her life? Or will she spend her final days alone and behind bars? 

Holly was introduced to us in one of the Squeaky Clean Mysteries.
