I received a copy of Redemption (Ladies of Larkspur Book 3) from the author in return for an honest review.

Ms. Gray’s mystery, western, historical, inspirational, book Redemption, starts with an attention-grabbing scene that puts Minnie Smith Drake in the firing line from the get-go. Under suspicion and with her freedom curtailed she returns home to larkspur and comes face to face with the new sheriff in town.

Art Paulson, the new sheriff of Larkspur, soon devises a plan to keep Minnie ‘under close surveillance’ but nothing is ever as simple as expected.

The author’s fluent writing style took this reader right into Minnie’s psyche and in few words emphasised and explained how and why Minnie is so drastically changed.

The time-line plot and sub-plots all weave together into a tight, tense, and yet charmingly warm story. The scene setting is masterful, the word choices and detailed descriptions used to convince the reader of the historical era are dropped in without overpowering the tale and yet often enough to enhance the integrity of Redemption.

I’d urge those who may normally bypass an inspirational story to give Redemption another consideration. Yes, there are bible quotes and references to God, but these simply enhance the integrity of Art and Minnie without overwhelming those readers who might otherwise give Redemption the ‘pass-by’.

Family matters in Redemption, as do friendships. Small town and big city crime and justice are weighed, woven and balanced by Ms. Gray, and emotions run high – and low. Tension and suspense are both metered out in fluent and believable measures, as is the romance.

For those who enjoy a historical read blended with western, suspense, mystery and romance Redemption is a book to consider. The author’s writing skill bring this story alive on the page, and her characters, both main and supporting seem as real to this reader as if she’d been there as an observer.

For those who have not read any of Ms. Gray’s books before, she is a multi-genre author worth watching out for.
