Autumn Light

Miracles of Marble Cove #5

by Dan Walsh

As Marble Cove prepares for its annual Fall Fest, Diane finds that success as a writer comes with a price. No sooner has her book been accepted for publication than her publisher tells her they want it to be part of a series. Diane sets out to create two new story ideas- pronto! But can she repeat the success of her first book? How will her friendships suffer because of her urgent task?

Meanwhile, Margaret discovers a way to generate income for her gallery- and maybe for the Bauer family too- even as it makes her paintings available to more people. Shelley can’t help comparing herself to a “superwoman” acquaintance and finds herself lacking, but her bigger challenge is how to launch a baking a business when her kitchen isn’t up to par. And Beverly embraces her new life in Marble Cove by helping create Web sites for her friends’ businesses.

When the four women get word that a mysterious stranger seems every bit as interested in Orlean Point Light as they are, they set out to discover who he is. What is his connection to the unexplained lights each one of them has seen?

I really enjoyed this story. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and the plot was believable. Vivid descriptions and clear details drew me into the world. A great escape and a pleasant read.

Another cozy mystery series from Guideposts. This story had just a hint of mystery and actually left the mystery hanging at the very end to be continued in the next book. Although I had no trouble following the storyline, I suspect this is a series that needs to be read in order to best appreciate it. The thing I loved most about this story was the strong friendship and support among the 4 ladies of Marble Cove Maine. A small friendly town, these 4 ladies of different ages and stages, even though each facing a problem of their own, still managed to help one another with the difficulties the others were facing. As each problem got solved, the 4 of them realized that a little miracle had taken place.

One of the best written book of the series yet. I love Dan Walsh's original books and I hope he writes more for this series.

#5 in a series. What is so interesting about this series is that each one is a continuation of the preceeding but written by different authors. I think each book in the series can be read as a stand-alone. A little mystery, intrique, and interesting characters set in a beach town. The four main characters are of different ages, so that makes it fun too. I enjoy this chick lit read - perfect for winter, summer... all the seasons.

I have read prior Mysteries of Marble Cove, and the story continues on with this one! Dan does a great job with all the characters never dropping a thing for continuity ! The added bonus the mysterious tall, dark and handsome man that is on the same search as the ladies. With a surprise ending. Delightful

It was okay… kind of slow moving for me. I liked the ending!

I found this series of book at Goodwill and bought all they had. Unfortunately I am missing the first four and will be looking for them. I enjoyed the characters and getting to know about them and their faith in God. I really like the idea of them about my age and doing things us baby-boomers do. I do love reading all sorts of books, but for and easy Christian enjoyable read these are great.

[Sarah · Rating 3 out of 5]

My favorite in the series so far. I really appreciated the writing of this author (which happened to be the first male writer in the series). I definitely think it did not hinder him!
