Book Review & Giveaway ~ Hutchins Creek Cache by Deborah Garner

 

~~~ My Thoughts & Review ~~~

Paige Mackenzie is a reporter for the Manhattan Post. Her next assignment will take her to Colorado, not too far from her boyfriend, Jake in Wyoming. She plans to make it a ½ work trip – ½ romantic getaway when Jake agrees to meet her in Hutchins Creek, CO.

The assignment Paige is working on revolves around the history of the railroad and the Old West. Sounds simple, but nothing is simple when Paige is involved … trouble just seems to find her. She has a naturally curious personality, which makes her a good investigator / researcher for her writing assignments. Her friendly and outgoing nature puts people at ease. They are comfortable sharing info with her, helping her to put all the facts together to solve the mystery. The mystery in this case revolves around an old train car named “The Morning Star” and an unsolved gold coin robbery at the Denver Mint from nearly a century ago. Will Paige solve it? You’ll have to read it to find out for yourself 🙂

Deborah Garner is a great story teller. Because of the detailed research she puts into her books, I always learn new things. She describes her settings so that you almost feel like you are there too. You feel like you are with Paige as she talks to people and does the research for her article.

I really enjoyed this book, and look forward to more Paige Mackenzie mysteries 🙂

 

NEW RELEASE….

Paige MacKenzie heads to the town of Hutchins Creek, Colorado, to research Old West railroad history for The Manhattan Post, with plans to meet up with her favorite cowboy, Jake Norris.

Book Review & Giveaway ~ Three Silver Doves by Deborah Garner

My Thoughts:

I read and thoroughly enjoyed Three Silver Doves by Deborah Garner as a standalone book, even though it is actually part of the “A Paige Mackenzie Mystery” series. It was a fun and easy read; perfect for summer … I plan on reading the other two books as well 🙂
Paige Mackenzie is a reporter for a New York newspaper and is working on a series about the Old West. For her next assignment, her boss sends her to New Mexico to write an article about the healing powers of the natural mineral springs at the Aqua Encantada Resort in Tres Palomas. It sounds intriguing and relaxing, so she schedules some much deserved vacation time and extends the trip.
Paige has a reputation for her curiosity and her persistent nature sometimes gets her into trouble. Actually, she is naturally drawn to mysteries and has a talent for exposing the truth. She is friendly and easy going, and she quickly befriends the resort staff and owner.
The author does a great job in vividly describing the resort, town and surrounding landscape, she makes you feel like you are actually there. She also has a gift for making her characters come to life. I almost feel like if I were at the resort in New Mexico, I would recognize Miguel!
I recommend this book for good, clean fun … no foul language, no steamy sex scenes and no extreme violence. Just a fun and intriguing “who-done-it” with memorable characters 🙂

NEW BOOK RELEASE….

When New York reporter Paige MacKenzie heads to Tres Palomas, New Mexico, the resort of Agua Encantada seems a perfect destination to combine work with pleasure. A quick article on the healing mineral springs and a few leisurely soaking sessions in the resort’s soothing waters promises well-deserved rest and relaxation.

Paige is immediately intrigued with a local artist’s one-of-a-kind jewelry designs, as well as weekly gatherings to hear legends from an elderly storyteller. But when identical jewelry shows up on another guest and the storyteller goes missing, Paige’s R&R is soon redefined as restlessness and risk. Curious and persistent by nature, Paige is convinced there’s a connection. Enlisting the help of a flirtatious resort worker seems like a good idea until it begins to test her loyalty to her favorite cowboy, Jake Norris. Will an unexpected overnight trip to Tierra Roja Casino lead her to the answers she seeks, or are darker secrets lurking along the way?
