This series, Savannah Secrets, is one of the Guidepost series. I don't like many of these series but I love this one. Each story has to do with an historical happening in Savannah that bears upon today. There's always history and some mystery along with local color. The books, although written by different authors, capture the essence of the characters so that I feel like I know them well.

Private Investigators Meredith and Julia are hired by the daughter of an old friend of Meredith's to investigate the rumors of ghostly sightings on a piece of land that she just bought in the outback of Georgia. There's a stately old home on the land that has fallen into ruin. It's been boarded up for over 30 years. This is the where the reports of ghosts originated. Upon entering the house Meredith, Julia, and the buyer find everything still inside as if the family just got up and left in the middle of breakfast. Intrigued, the two women investigators set out to discover about the family who lived there and what happened to them, but some things are better left unfound. Although there's no real danger in this story, who can resist a haunted house?

I love reading the Savannah Secrets series. The perfect blend of history and mystery.

Where Time Stood Still was such an interesting story. I have learned something about Georgia's history with each one of the books in this series. I had never even heard of the massacre at Ebenezer Creek! I was completely blown away by that tragedy. Absolutely in shock...Humanity can be so cruel.

"History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again." ~Maya Angelou

~He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. -Micah 6:8

The ending of this book was somewhat of a disappointment but on the whole it was a good, fast weekend read. I like this series because the mysteries are interesting and not gory plus there's Savannah history in each one.

This was such a good book. The story didn’t end with a dramatic turn, but it kind of unfolded. I loved the history notes and especially enjoyed the lack of bad language. I highly recommend this.
