FOUR Christian Mystery Suspense books in one collection
1. Once Upon a Christmas Wish
2. The Anniversary
3. The Apothecary's Daughter
4. Grave Robbers
# 1: Once Upon a Christmas Wish: Kate is lonely, single, and about to turn forty. She has lost all interest in the Christmas season until a mysterious package that has followed her around for twenty years winds up at her doorstep. When her handsome neighbor, Jack, takes an interest in the contents of the mystery package, will Kate's outlook on Christmas change? How will Jack help her get past her worst Christmas ever?
# 2: The Anniversary: When Sadie makes a harmless wish at her fiftieth wedding anniversary party with her estranged husband, Sam, they travel back to the night they first met, but Sam is injured and doesn't remember her.
Lost in a time she'd put away a long time ago, she finds herself torn between her past with the man she loves, and future possibilities with another man.
Now that she's young and single again, will the time travel open her eyes to something better, or is she destined to make the same mistakes all over again?
#3 The Apothecary's Daughter: When Claire Mayfield suddenly finds herself the new heir of a property that has lain vacant for over one hundred years, she becomes leery of the rumors of the hauntings from the three young children who were said to have been murdered there. With a little encouragement from Ben, the lawyer who breaks the news of the inheritance to her, Claire agrees to explore the manor, but only on the condition that Ben accompanies her. Finding her attractive, he accepts the challenge, and the two embark on an adventure that will forever change their lives.
Despite a few distractions and bumps along the way, Claire discovers her great uncle, Dr. Blackwell's, apothecary and traveling medicine show from the late 1800's, and even stumbles upon clues that could help her solve her ancestor's one-hundred-year-old murder-mystery—all with a little help from a mischievous young girl who has been dead for more than one hundred years.
# 4: Grave Robbers: Twelve-year-old Charlie had no idea what she was getting herself into when she devised a plan to outwit her father, an experienced grave robber, and steal the jewels from the Widow Taylor’s casket just before burial. When the widow’s murderer comes looking for the jewels, Charlie must come up with a new plan to keep her and her father from becoming the murderer’s next victims. But what is it that really has her frightened?

Great set of stories..................
I'm not a big fan of time travel, but I must admit that I enjoyed these stories. I liked that the people who took part in the act had a positive reaction to it. The people in the other stories who found themselves dealing with the hereafter had to find there way though it to try to find a positive ending. The author has done it well, telling her very different stories well.

gave it a four star rating because it's not my usual genre. However, I am willing to give this author's books a try. If I could find more of her books, I will read them. Enjoyed what I read very much. I would also recommend the author Samantha Bayarr to those who enjoy Amish books of a Christian nature. I saw plenty on the Goodreads site from the author.

Suspenseful
I like mysteries. Each story keep me wanting to read more. Once you started, you felt like you were a part of the story and did not want to stop reading. As you read you didn't want the story to end. Great read.
