My Thoughts on Christmas Crime Cover-Up

I have very much enjoyed reading this series.  It’s so fun to follow a family and a location through a series.  You get to see some of the characters again and again as they grow and change through the storylines. 

So a fun fact in this book that I had no idea about is the wild burros in the desert.  I’ve never been to the desert and it’s not something that I’ve studied before so I have enjoyed learning things from the books. I thought the donkey was a fun touch!

This is a great mystery with twists and turns galore.  I read it through as fast as I could.  I had to.  You see my older teens have discovered that they enjoy reading the mysteries and suspense books that I enjoy and they’ll sneak them away while I’m reading them if I’m not careful!  I’ve often been finding other bookmarks in my books lately.  

We met Seth in earlier books in the series.  I loved his character and what he’s been through and overcomes.  Nora and Felicia are in danger and he’s set to protect them.  He wasn’t set on falling in love but that might just be a bonus if he can keep them alive!

I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.

More from Dana

Well, here we go!

Book five in the Desert Justice series features Nora (Chief Jude’s estranged sister), a wild donkey who needs rescuing, and a crime from the past that intrudes into the present.

Twisty, right?

I was inspired to write this story after visiting Death Valley and learning about the feral donkeys which inhabit the region. They’re cute, and visitors love them, but the burros can encounter health problems and cause environmental damage if they aren’t settled into a safe area.

It’s amazing that wild donkeys are adept at detecting underground water sources. They dig “wells” which can benefit many thirsty animals.

Fascinating, right?

I hope you’ll enjoy meeting Bubbles the donkey and the helpful humans who rescue her in this novel.

God bless and thanks for reading!
