When Angels Whisper

by Nancy Mehl

It’s Christmastime in Sugarcreek and Cheryl Miller has a lot left to accomplish if she is going to be ready in time for Christmas Day. However, her to-do list takes a back seat when she learns that there have been several thefts in the area. And when the Swiss Miss gift shop is hit next, she knows she can’t sit back and wait for the thief to be caught.

Meanwhile, Cheryl’s daughter, Rebecca, has claimed to have been visited by an angel—more than once. Cheryl tries to reason with her daughter and get to the truth behind Rebecca’s story, but the little girl refuses to offer any other explanation.

With her mystery-solving sidekick and mother-in-law, Naomi, by her side, surely Cheryl can find answers to both mysteries before the holidays arrive!

[Stephanie Reeves · Rating 3 out of 5]

I have loved the Sugar Creek Amish Mysteries books, but this one disappointed me. There were several major continuity errors that really bothered me. Like the different church was th biggest thing. They’ve been at Friends Mennonite Church since they got married, but suddenly they’re at Community Bible Church. That was a huge thing.

The next big thing was the talk about Seth’s daughter Sarah. The relationship is reconciled many books ago, but they’re back to saying reconciliation hasn’t happened yet.

Suddenly Esther is married.

Elizabeth was working at the Swiss Miss.

And I wasn’t as fond of this Cheryl as I have been of her all along. The way she talked to Rebecca, who is suddenly 5, and talked of limiting treats and watching TV. There was just a whole bunch of stuff that didn’t fit the other narratives.

The mystery was good, and I wasn’t able to call the ending, but those big differences kind of ruined it for me.

I would had liked the series to end well. That didn’t happen for me.

This Amish Christmas story was sweet, mysterious, and faith filled, which are three of my favorite things. I love how determined Cheryl is to figure out who is behind all of the thefts in Sugarcreek. The prime suspect has a lot of evidence built against them, and is very close to being wrongfully imprisoned. I pride myself on figuring out who did it before the ending, but this novel had me stumped. I would definitely recommend reading When Angels Whisper by Nancy Mehl this holiday season.

This is one of those books that have mystery, and when you’re done, You feel so good, and full of faith, hope, love, and happiness.
