DEATH IN EARTHEN VESSELS and GHOSTS OF CHRISTMAS PAST by Shaen Layle, Reviewed by Paula Shreckhise #NewRelease

PAULA'S REVIEWS:

DEATH IN EARTHEN VESSELS by Shaen Layle

This novella was sort of a brain teaser. I certainly didn’t see the outcome. John, a former police officer moved in with his sister after suffering a stroke. When suspicious things happen, he used his detective skills to try to find out what was going on. He reconnects with God and relys on Him to help him when the going gets tough. 

Succinct, but complete suspenseful story that kept me on my toes until the reveal.
*A complimentary copy of this title was provided by the author. I was not required to post a favorable review. All opinions are my own.*5 stars and an underlying faith thread.

BackCover Blurb:
Retired police officer, John Hollingsworth, came to Mirror Basin to recover from a stroke, not to dig up buried secrets. But when a chance discovery pulls him into a decades-old cold case, recovery takes a backseat. Because in Mirror Basin, blood isn’t just thicker than water—it might be the only thing keeping him alive.

GHOSTS OF CHRISTMAS PAST by Shaen Layle

Provocative tale of a woman whose ex-husband is trying to make her life miserable and turn her son against her. Despicable villain, a woman who found faith in Christ, and a child caught in between.

What happened one Christmas in the past is the catalyst for Mark to lead Lila on a wild treasure hunt in order to have her son returned to her.

The author builds the suspense to a surprising conclusion, and shows a heroine that grows in her faith.
