Laugh-out-Loud Christian Mystery
The senior citizens in Road’s End were some of the funniest, most determined people. Each one was so perfect in their own quirky way. It is hard to pick a favorite, but Frank was certainly up there near the top of my list.
My husband got to hear numerous excerpts from this book. Mostly because I kept laughing really hard and couldn’t resist sharing what I had been reading. This is certainly a story that kept me turning the pages, anxious to see what was coming next. And then stopping to laugh and laugh.
I loved the way that Hugh and Melanie cared so much for each of them, despite having just known them for such a short period of time. The hospitality they showed (as the newcomers!) by bringing the residents of the town to the inn so they would be together and safe for the duration of the blizzard was love in action, especially as shown to Emma, who refused to leave her house.
The story was a blend of humor, action, suspense and changed lives. There is a strong Christian message that for the majority of the book was woven well into the story. There are a few places where a long message was preached and shared in the book which, while true and inspiring, did detract from the story. I enjoyed much more the conversations that the characters had discussing their faith.
