This is the first book that I have read by this author and it will not be the last. Once I started reading I just could not put it down. It was so good.
Peggy and her brother had lost touch for a while and then he showed up in their town. He set it up with them that they had a standing invitation to have dinner with him every Thursday night. When Peggy and her husband showed up to have dinner with him on Thursday they realized that he had cleaned out his apartment and there were no traces of him left there.
She was concerned because he never said anything about leaving town. Then she finds out that he died falling off a train. Check out this story I think you will enjoy it as much as I did.

It seems the motive was money, but where is it? Was the money real or just a way to get attention? All of these books have been fun to read. They all have little ways of tying the books together but they don’t necessarily need to be read in order. I do highly recommend you read them in order so you can get a broader picture of this complex group of characters. <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/106111308-charlisa-wahtomy-alba”>View all my reviews</a>

This is a series that I have enjoyed from the first book I picked up. It is a series that keeps getting better and better with each book.. I enjoy this author’s ability to pull me into her stories with her creative writing skills and her loveable characters. This book is no different. It is a well written, engaging, hard to put down story. Emma is back in another mystery and what happens is something you don’t want to miss. Emma and Jeremy are faced with new family responsibilities and an undercover investigation. Using their skills will they solve this mystery? Emma is my favorite character and I am always excited to see what case she finds herself mixed up with. They are connectable and relatable characters that bring the story to life. They are characters that make this story easy and entertaining to read. If you haven’t picked up this series I highly suggest you do, you won’t regret it. I enjoyed this book and I look forward to seeing what is next. I highly recommend this book.
4.5 stars Kimberly’s “Notebook Mysteries ~ Art of Deception” is another great addition to her series. It’s based on true events and weaves historical aspects into an entertaining tale. While each book in the series can be read on its own, I recommend starting with the first one, “Emma (Notebook Mysteries #1).” In this book, we reunite with old friends from the previous books and meet new well-written characters. The descriptive narrative brings both the characters and the story to life. Emma and Jeremy are back in super sleuth mode as they battle behind the scenes to find a treasure and track down a killer involving an ex and his pregnant wife, all while trying to stay one step ahead of the criminals. Although there are already many books in this series, I can see many more to come because each one is different, and the adventures and mysteries are endlessly intriguing.
The novel kicks off with a strong hook—a brutal murder that sets the stage for a fast-paced and engaging mystery. Mullins expertly weaves together elements of deception and suspense, keeping readers on edge with unexpected twists and red herrings. The pace is brisk, with the investigation unfolding in a way that maintains tension while gradually revealing clues. The dual focus on family dynamics and the mystery adds depth to the narrative, ensuring that the stakes feel personal as well as perilous.

Peggy’s brother, Teddy went missing. Peggy and her husband Tony enlist the help of an investigation company to help them find out what happened to her brother. This is definitely a book that you need to pay attention to detail. Twisty aspects, multiple characters involved, and the unexpected twist to what finally happens. A wonderful mystery to read.
Fantastic addition to the series. I love how she bases these off real cases. This author does a really good job with her research when writing her stories. This case had me chuckling, smiling, gasping, yelling at my Kindle and enjoying a wonderful story. There are some really exciting twists and turns in this story as they hunt for the art pieces. I have so enjoyed this addition. I will be eagerly awaiting the next.

I don’t typically pick up books in this genre, but something about this one pulled me in. I’m so glad I listened to that little voice because even though this is the only second book I’ve read by this author, something tells me it is far from the last. I enjoyed Mark Sutherland’s cross-country adventure and how the author so vividly portrays the locations he ventures into. I felt pulled into the story to the point where it felt more like an experience which I absolutely loved. Mark is a relatable character that you feel like rooting for the whole way through his journey and the flow of the story itself is quite smooth. Get ready for a fast-paced historical adventure where you’ll read about a bit of danger, a few friends, and the ever-famous gold rush! I highly recommend picking this up and getting wrapped up in the twists and turns that is Mr. Sutherland’s life.

As soon as he sends his articles to his editor, he sets off to an exciting venture where he learns something new about the world and how it is changing to meet the new demands as a new century is on the horizon.

This is more than exciting news and Mark goes home so that he can prepare and spend some time with his family before his dream comes true.
He finalises his plans and sets off northwards and the start of his journey, he writes about every step of the way, as well as meeting new people and gauging their reasons for taking the same journey and some even become friends as the harsh reality of life in this unforgiving environment hits, but will he survive the elements and bring back the articles and gold home with him, or will he succumb to the wilds? This is a fast-paced historical adventure which takes you through America and into the Canadian wilderness as you follow the gold rush fever and see it through the eyes of those following it.

Mark Sutherland loves adventure! In order to support his ideal lifestyle, he became a reporter. His dream is to go to the Yukon and experience the Canadian Gold Rush. However, he has to pay and exorbitant amount of money to get there. Not to mention, a year’s worth of supplies (including a stove) to be able to survive there, because once you get there, you are iced in until spring. So to save his money to get there, he takes other trips out to Texas and Oklahoma. He has other adventures and ends up befriending Gus, who becomes a good, reliable friend. When he returns from those, he finds out that his trip has been approved, but it comes with a few strings. Can Mark agree to the terms to gain the trip of a lifetime? Or will it become too much to ask of him?
I really love reading this author! Their stories always make me feel like I am right there in history watching the adventures play out in my mind. The characters are written in such a relatable/likeable way that it is easy to want to be their friend! I also enjoyed the mention and interaction with Emma from the author’s Notebook Mysteries series (if you haven’t read that series, you should!). I love that their story is still continuing on with the next generation. It was an enjoyable read and am looking forward to the next in the series!

1897: A Mark Sutherland Adventure is a new historical fiction by Kimberly Mullins. In this story, we go on an adventure with Mark Sutherland who is investigating crashes of a “flying object”. He finds himself meeting a cast of characters and getting into some dangerous situations. The story is full of great detail and an intriguing plot. There are plenty of twists and turns that leave you hooked. The characters are engaging and I found myself wanting to go on more adventures with Mark. Kimberly Mullins does mystery and historical fiction very well. You will definitely enjoy this book.

1897 A Mark Sutherland Adventure (Mark Sutherland Adventures) by Kimberly Mullins. This is such a good historical fiction read. Its the story of reporter Mark Sutherland and his desires to travel to the Yukon to cover the new gold rush. He’s in Chicago right now and he’s not sure how he will get there though. This read covers all kinds of things in the 1800’s including the oil boom in Oklahoma and a weird thing landing in Texas. We learn all about how hard life is in this time period and how so many people die. Without the comforts of what we know now life is very hard. Thinking this Gold rush will be similar to the one in California he thinks it will be somewhat easy to cover. Along the way to the Yukon he meets several people including one lady he has interest in. Romance, mystery and history are all in this book. I love this author’s writing I actually felt like I was in these places and time period while I was reading. Great Historical mystery!

A very enjoyable historical adventure book, set in 1897, the story is about a reporter from Chicago Tribune, Mark Sutherland, who lives on the edge. He loves travelling and reporting on the odd and eccentric. Marks wants to go to Yukon and witness the gold rush, thinking it would be on similar lines as the 1849 California gold rush. As he embarks on this adventure, he meets more friends along the way, each one with their own reason to travel to Yukon. There is romance, adventure, a lot of historic information and the adrenaline pumping to see what happens when we witness the gold rush. Overall a very enjoyable read.

I have loved everything I have read from this author! This book did not disappoint in its historical avenue. If you have read the Notebook Mysteries Series then you will recognize that Mark is someone Emma and the team has helped. That’s actually what drew me to this story. The fact those characters are branching out into their own adventures!
Mark is a reporter for the local paper and is always up to travel and keep writing. The Alien Crash in 1897 is the first stop on his adventure. Ultimately Mark finds himself traveling to the Yukon for the Gold! The accuracy of these stories is so great and the way its written makes you feel like you’re part of the story.
Mark of course has his challenges once there but not without surrounding himself with family/friends that will take care of him when he needs it. This story has some sad character stories within it but the happiness that comes out and wins is so great.

This is another great historical mystery from Kimberly Mullins. I have loved all the Notebook mystery series and was so excited to see another book from this author. The attention to detail that is placed in this story really brings the time period to life and transports the reader to that time and place making it a really engaging and immersive read. The author also does an amazing job with the characters making them all unique and believable you can actually imagine them living the lives she portrays in the stories.
In this story we are with Mark Sutherland. He is a journalist for a newspaper but he loves adventures and hates being stuck in one place. When he gets a job reporting on a supposed flying machine crash it is only the start of his adventures as he makes his way to Yukon on his quest for a story on the gold rush. But this is a story that isn’t straight forward. It is full of twists and turns as Mark meets new people, some of them friends, some of them enemy’s and as he continues to investigate the story’s he finds it also leads him to discover things people would rather be kept secret.
This story is a historical mystery that is full of twists and turns you never know what to expect or what Mark will stumble across next. There is danger and excitement around every corner as well as friendships along the way. This author creates an amazing multi layer story which will keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next. I was gripped from beginning to end.

An enjoyable and entertaining historical adventure set in 1897, just on the cusp of the 20th Century. We are introduced to a intrepid reporter for the Chicago Tribune, Mark Sutherland, who lives an adventurous life travelling and reporting on the odd and inexplicable and anything new and novel. Mark wants to go to Yukon and witness the gold rush, having read all about the 1849 California gold rush. However, he’s not the only one with gold rush fever, and as he travels to Yukon he meets new friends along the way, all of whom have their own reasons for undertaking the journey. As he makes his way north, Mark encounters many adventures and there is even some romance. This was a real page turner which kept me hooked throughout. The descriptive narrative brought both the characters and the setting to life, making me feel immersed in the story. The added historical details also transported me back in time, and I felt that I was travelling alongside Mark and experiences the gold rush firsthand. I look forward to going on another adventure with Mark Sutherland soon!

I am a huge fan of this author and have read every single installment of her Notebook Mysteries series. I had very high expectations for this book before picking it up, and I am excited to report that it DID. NOT. DISAPPOINT. Mark Sutherland’s adventures as a reporter in the late 1800s are captivating and intriguing, and the author’s talent for capturing and describing the given time period is evident. This is an excellent read for history buffs, as well as mystery chasers, and will absorb you from start to finish. What added an even deeper appreciation for me was the connection to the main character in the Notebook Mysteries series, Emma. This book can be read by itself, though, so if you have not yet indulged in that series, no worries…although, I highly recommend doing so. As with everything this author writes, if I could give it more than five stars, I totally would.

I’ve read a few books by this author now so when I saw this new release from her I was really excited to start reading and it was as I expected a really great read. It was entertaining from beginning to end and the authors wonderful descriptive writing felt like I was right there in year 1897! The genre isn’t my usual but I really like the historical accuracy that the author uses in her writing, you can tell that she clearly researches the time periods that she sets her stories in. I really liked Mark, he was a great lead character to follow. There were some great twists and turns in the story too. I’m definitely looking to reading more from this author again!

5 Stars 1897 A Mark Sutherland Adventure (Mark Sutherland Adventures) by Kimberly Mullins
1897 A Mark Sutherland Adventure (Mark Sutherland Adventures) is a Historical Adventure that will have you turning the pages till the end. I’m a huge fan of this author and her Notebook Mysteries Series so I knew without a doubt I’d love this one as well. Her attention to detail, her vivid descriptions and wonderful characters make the story come to life. I get lost in time and can vividly picture everything she is describing. This time we follow along with Mark Sutherland who has landed the job of a lifetime as he Adventures to the Yukons to report on the Gold rush. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. Its full of mystery and suspense that you don’t want to miss. I’m eagerly looking forward to reading more from this Author.

1897by Kimberly Mullins is an intriguing adventure story set in the late 1800’s. The historical detailing, as expected from Ms. Mullins, was on point, her descriptions and attention to detail really setting the scene for her story. I have loved reading the Notebook Mysteries series, so when I saw that this was being released, I was excited to find out what it would contain. Even though this is a standalone story, it does connect to the Notebook Mysteries series in a small way, as our MC here has ties with Emma who is the MC of the Notebook series. I thought that small detail added an extra element of interest to the story, for me. Mark Sutherland is an intrepid reporter travelling to the Yukon to report on the gold rush there. But this novel is beautifully layered, combining multiple threads which Ms. Mullins has deftly woven into a rich and complex production. Mark’s journey is full of harrowing moments, harsh conditions, mystery, tension, dramatic developments, challenges, family, friendship, hope, resilience, determination, courage, danger, agendas, and even a little romance. His introspective inner dialogue adding an extra facet to the storyline too. The ending of this book was sweet, and left room for more adventures in the future. Looking forward to more from Ms. Mullins, soon. Happy Reading…
