Cozy mystery connected to workers and friends at Mercy Hospital.
Evelyn is in the records department at the hospital. She and her friends, who are committed Christians, have a knack for solving puzzling situations. Evelyn and her husband, James, witness an accident involving a cyclist and a horse-drawn carriage. Evelyn puts her sleuthing hat on when she questions whether this was just an accident. Things get curious when Paul, who was injured, gets threatening notes along with his get-well flowers. Could they be connected to the story he is researching for a newspaper article?
Evelyn starts snooping and trying to rule out who could be sending the notes. But through it all she learns some valuable lessons:
1. She can’t do it all.
2. It is best to let God do His job.
3. She should not pre-judge.
Great little cozy with action that moved the story along.

Engaging cozy mystery! There's a minor historical thread dating back to 1970 that merges with the primary story. Hospital employee Evelyn witnesses a wreck and then goes into amateur sleuth mode. In addition to a good story line, there are spiritual messages woven in.

This one was really good! I enjoyed trying to solve both mysteries and trying to figure out how they came together. I enjoyed each of the characters, too. It was an easy read and I read it in one sitting. I would recommend this for fans of cozy mysteries!

A well written book that I found hard to put down! There were so many mysteries and suspects it kept me guessing all the way to the end.

There were a lot tears she’d through the reading of this book.

R hank you, Shaen for rhe signed copy. I honestly loved it. I didn't see that it was Historical Fiction but I have heard that this type of thing did actually occur.
