Notebook Mysteries ~ Unexpected Outcomes (Notebook Mysteries Book 4) by Kimberly Mullins – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Notebook Mysteries ~ Unexpected Outcomes by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book 4 in the Notebook Mysteries Series starts of fast-paced and jumps straight into the action. The year is now 1887, and we find Emma and Jeremy on a train trying to catch bank robbers. The train crash leaves numerous passengers injured, many others dead, and because of the ensuing chaos the bank robbers think that they have gotten away with their crime. Emma and Jeremy are injured but choose to ignore their own injuries and instead jump to the aid of the numerous other passengers left trapped in the other train cars. Will the bank robbers get away with their crimes while Emma and Jeremy aid the wounded train passengers?

The mysteries continue once Emma and Jeremy return home and before long Emma is knee-deep in two unsolved cases. When Emma is looking through her local newspaper two stories catch her attention, and she knows that she must pursue these stories farther. Before long she is investigating the disappearance, and suspected murder, of a local woman. Even more intriguing is that shortly after the woman disappeared her husband left the country. When Emma becomes too deeply involved in that case, she has no time to pursue the other case and must enlist Jeremy’s help. Before long Jeremy himself is involved in a case involving child labor and possible sabotage at a local factory.

This author does an amazing job of drawing the reader into the story and the lives of the characters. I have loved the characters of both Emma and Jeremy since first being introduced to them in the first book in the Notebook Mysteries Series. Emma is smart, industrious, and relentless when it comes to solving a mystery. She is quick to pick up on subtle cues and hints that most people would overlook. Jeremy is equally smart and always eager to help Emma solve a mystery. Together they make a fierce crime fighting duo. I highly recommend this book!
