Just love this cover ! Owls are my thing ❣️🦉 besides Bella making her appearance again there was so much to this read …..
Logan is enjoying married life with Ben and her work with the raptors is rather fulfilling and the people she works with seem nice , that is until she finds one of them dead and while everyone else thinks it was natural causes Logan thinks otherwise and in doing so puts herself at risk …..
A read that ticked many boxes for me and I thoroughly enjoyed each , I even read some pages aloud at our family gathering ❣️📕🦉

What an excellent mystery! I was kept in suspense until the very end. Although part of a series, I plunged right in with no prior experience with this series. I was not disappointed. The characters were developed seamlessly, and the story flowed smoothly.
I have loved the amazing books that this author creates for some time now, and this author never disappoints me in all that they write. They weave a story that grips you, and intrigues as you read, and leaves you wanting more! I was hooked completely as I read through! The book was amazing!
This author created such an astonishing thriller, and one that shakes your soul as you read. The characters were very connectable, and I was very much invested in them and the mystery and story that was a hand. What I loved about Logan and the mystery was that the build up was quite dire. When things were found, so were more things, and things kept building. Danger was everywhere. You needed eyes everywhere, I felt my heart beat fast quite a few times as I read. I felt I was alongside Logan as I read. The story was perfectly done and full of its ability to be realistic! This was a well worth reading! I cannot say enough good things!
Again, this author never disappoints me with the griping books that they create and bring to life. This one takes the cake though! Highly recommend this book, and the author as well! A must read all around!
This was the first book I’ve read by Valerie Davisson. It is not the first in the Logan McKenna series, but you can read it as a standalone. Very well written murder mystery that was hard to put down. I will be adding this author to my list of favorites.
In Plain Sight is the eighth book in the Logan McKenna Mystery series by Valerie Davisson. This is another intriguing crime and investigation story with mystery, murder, friendship, danger, drama, a wildlife rescue centre, raptors, tension, and a race against time. As I have said previously, this series is definitely getting better the further into it I get. In this instalment we see Logan McKenna begin volunteering at a local wildlife rescue centre, but trouble seems to have a way of finding her and she soon finds herself investigating another mystery when a co-worker is murdered. Her investigation becomes a race against time in order to uncover the killer before she becomes the next victim…. Wonder what Logan McKenna gets up to next?

When Logan finds the raptor vet she has been working closely with dead, Logan decides to investigate her murder. At first, no one is actually convince that it is murder. With the help of her coffee crew, Logan discovers the mystery behind the murder.
I love the twist as to who is the guilty party. I was ready to convict Jimmy. I didn’t see the real killer coming. This one will keep you guessing right until the end.
This was my first Logan McKenna mystery. It was a nice change of pace from some of my usual picks. I am glad I chose this out of all my options.

In Plain Sight is book 8 of the Logan McKenna Mystery Series, and full disclosure, I didn’t realize that upon grabbing the book. I don’t feel as if I missed anything but maybe I was, however I felt this book worked as a standalone and it was well worth the read! The author writes eloquently and immerses the reader in the story. It was a pleasure to read and I enjoyed the twists and turns so so much!

In Plain Sight is the eighth book in this wonderful series wow where has the time gone. The series started out a little rocky but I stuck with it and am glad that I did because it has gotten better over time.
Logan always finds herself embroiled in another tangled web. Davisson once again weaves a multi layered and complex plot that draws us in. The Logan McKenna Mystery series has become one of my favourites. I see Davisson’s name and can’t wait to grab a copy and get going. I am never disappointed. I have said it before, but I will say it again with each book Valerie’s stories get better and this one is my favourite so far.
It is filled with intrigue and drama, tension and suspense and danger, lies and deceit, secrets and murder.
With as long as this series has been going for you would think that it would have started to get a bit old by now. And yet with each book added it just gets better and better. I always love jumping back into Logan’s world and thr characters surrounding her. Each book feels fresh and exciting. This book is just like the rest of them. I was pulled into the story with ease and I could not put it down. I was desperate to see what was going to happen and just to spend more time with these characters. This is easily one of my top series and I would recommend everyone reading it.
I’m a big fan of this series, and yet again I was gripped from start to finish with this mystery, crime thriller. I loved being back with our heroine, Logan McKenna and her now husband, Ben, both of whom feel like old friends. Logan is enjoying life at the start of this story, enjoying playing her violin, taking long morning runs, and having time with Ben. Logan then decides to volunteer at a wildlife rescue centre, and becomes involved with the wild raptors. Logan’s peace doesn’t last long though, when a coworker is found dead, and although there’s no sign of a violent struggle, the cause of death remains unclear. Despite the autopsy finding no evidence of homicide, Logan believes it could be murder as the office had been vandalised, and things just don’t seem right. Taking matters into her own hands, she decides to uncover the killer and along with two friends she digs deeper. However, this brings her to the killer’s attention and if she’s not careful she will end up as the next victim. I was hooked by this fast paced, page turner of a novel, and literally could not put the book down. As usual the descriptive narrative brings both the characters and the setting to life, making me feel immersed in the storyline. An enjoyable and engaging read, and one which I definitely recommend.

This is a series that I have enjoyed from the first book. It is a series that keeps getting better and better with every new installment. I have enjoyed reading this author’s stories and how her writing skills bring her stories to life. This book is no different. This is a well written story where Logan is back in a race against time mystery. Will she be able to stop a killer before she falls victim to the killer? This is a fast paced story that had me coming back for more. It is a story that is full of action and twists and turns that you don’t want to miss. I enjoyed the growth of the plot throughout the story which made the story easy to read. This is an entertaining story that you don’t want to miss. Logan is a great character that made the story for me. This is a great story that I enjoyed by a great author. I highly recommend this book.
This is the 8th book in the Logan McKenna Mystery series. Everytime I pick up one of these books I know I’m going to be take on a gripping murder mystery and this was just as I expected. The characters growth throughout these books is amazing to see and its nice to see her finally happy with her long term love Ben. But it seems everywhere Logan goes there is always trouble.
We are back with Logan in her new home. Finally settled with her now husband Ben, Logan is enjoying her life and decides to embrace her love of Birds of Prey. Now she has spare time she decides to volunteer at a wildlife centre where she can fully immerse herself and her love for these beautiful birds. Sounds perfect right? That is until one of the vetanarians Logan works with turns up dead. Was it a natural death or something more sinister? With Logan believing there was foul play she sets out to uncover the truth but little does she realise that by digging she has brought herself to the attention of the killer and now its a race against time for Logan to find the murderer before they get her.
This story is very gripping and will have you turning the pages and not being able to stop. I was fully immersed and captivated by this story that I couldn’t put it down.
This was my first book by Valerie Davisson, and now I am compelled to read all of the others in this series! I loved that you could pick this book up without reading the other books, but now I feel the need to go back and read them all anyways. Valerie’s writing was so descriptive, which made me feel immersed in the story, the setting, the drama, the mystery… everything! This was a great murder mystery that kept me flying through the pages to uncover the truth. I definitely recommend it!

This is one of my favorite mystery series. Logan always brings a great story. I love the descriptions of everything in the story. It helps to build the picture and set the stage for the murder. The author did a wonderful job with researching owl information. The story was very engaging. What really makes it the best story are the twists and turns. A very well-written story that I recommend.
Logan McKenna is enjoying her new life, including marrying her long-time love, Ben, playing her cherished violin, Bella, and taking long, morning runs on the magnificent Oregon coast. Fascinated by the abundance of owls, eagles, hawks, and ospreys she encounters, Logan volunteers at a wildlife rescue center, where she becomes immersed in the world of raptors and those who fight for these fierce, wild creatures.
But when Logan finds a coworker dead on the floor in an animal treatment room, the peaceful forest becomes a scene of tragedy—and maybe murder. There are no signs of a violent struggle, but the office next door has been vandalized and the cause of death remains unclear. Even the official autopsy finds no evidence of homicide, but Logan thinks things just don’t add up.
When the police investigation stalls, Logan takes matters into her own hands. With the help of two local friends, she sets out to uncover the killer. The deeper she digs, the more the killer’s attention turns chillingly toward Logan.
Racing against time, Logan must use all her skills and strength to find the truth, before she becomes prey and is silenced forever.
In Plain Sight is an immersive mystery and a satisfying, multi-layered story about friendship and trusting your instincts, even if—especially if—you’re not sure where they will lead.
A self-admitted book addict, Valerie was the kid with the flashlight under her pillow, reading long after lights out. After a life of travel, she now lives on the Oregon coast with her husband, John, and their new puppy, Finn. When not working on her latest book, she’s probably in the kitchen, making a mess and cooking up a storm for family and friends.

This was a little bit different. Rather than one story it was two. I feel as though the genre was a little misplaced here. I expected more of a mystery element to it. It was really sweet though. It did give good character backgrounds but I would’ve liked to have seen these a bit more developed than what they were. I felt like it was just lacking something. Maybe not the right read for me *shrugs*.

Prequels to the Logan McKenna Mystery series—for the first time ever under one cover.
An Appalachian Love Story is BELLA. Bella’s narrative begins more than fifty years ago, high in the Appalachian highlands. Join me on a journey through the Appalachian hills and hollers with Logan’s great grandmother, Norah, and Giovanni, a young Italian immigrant who makes his masterpiece—Bella, a hand-crafted violin with an unrivaled tone that is passed down through the generations. (novella).JAGGED DAWN: THE BEGINNING OF LOGAN Join Logan in the days leading up to the terrible accident that shatters her illusions and throws her into the unknown.

Bella-An Appalachian Love Story & Jagged Dawn-Logan’s Beginnings (Logan McKenna Series)
I was drawn to this book by the cover which isn’t something normal for me. I don’t regret it one bit. I was moved by the back story of Logan’s family not realizing it at the time this was a prequel for a series.
I loved everything about Grandma Norah and her story. She didn’t have the easiest life but I imagine it was that way for a lot of young women there around that time.
Was there a connection due to the West Virginia roots? Maybe. My Daddy was born and raised in a tiny town in the hills tbough not nearly as remote and Logan’s Grandmother would about the same ages as Daddy.
The prequel has made me want to read this series and I fully intend to.

As a fan of the ‘Logan McKenna Mystery series’ I was intrigued to read these two companion stories, which are a prequel to the series. In the first novella the storyline is set in the Appalachian hills, over fifty years ago, and we are introduced to Logan’s great grandmother, Norah and Giovanni. Giovanni is a young Italian immigrant who is skilled at making hand crafted violins and he creates his masterpiece, Bella. Bella becomes a treasured family heirloom that is handed down through the generations and will eventually be given to Logan.
In the second short story, we are introduced to Logan but in a period of her life before that in the series. Logan’s storyline begins in the final days before the fatal accident where she will loose both her husband, and her comfortable illusions. This is the start of her reinventing herself and the beginning of her adventures. I was gripped by both wonderfully written stories and the descriptive narrative brought the settings vividly to life, especially that of the Appalachian hills.
Norah and Giovanni were likeable and relatable characters, and theirs was a real love story which I felt completely immersed in. The second storyline gives a much more in-depth backstory to Logan, which made me understand her character better, and therefore I feel more engaged with her. I look forward to reading more of Logan’s adventures as she investigates mysteries in future books in the series.

This is two books in one containing Bella: An Appalachian Love Story and Jagged Dawn: Logan’s Beginning. These two books are prequels to the Logan McKenna Mystery Series.
In Bella, we are taken back in time to 50 years prior to where Bella’s story first begins. In the Appalachian hills we meet Logan’s great grandmother Norah, and Giovanni, a young immigrant from Italy. Giovanni is a master artist crafting violins and it is he who creates Bella, a violin that is passed from generation to generation. Living life in the Appalachian mountains was not always easy but the family persevered and did what they could to survive off the land.
In Jagged Dawn we are introduced to Logan, the great granddaughter of Norah, We find Logan in California just weeks prior to the accident that changes her entire world. Logan is left wounded from the accident and faced with an uncertain future. Her once comfortable life is thrown into a tailspin, and she is forced to change everything she has ever known. She must decide if she will just survive or find joy in her life again. Returning home, she finds her beloved violin Bella and starts playing her again. She also finds her sapphire blue 1958 Corvette and finds herself enjoying cruises down the highway in her Corvette. These are two things that she had left in her past but that she now finds that bring her comfort and joy.
Although these books were very different from one another they flowed beautifully together. Norah and Giovanni’s love story was beautiful, yet tragic. Logan’s story was tragic yet inspiring. Both books show exactly how resilient people can be after tragedy strikes. These books were beautifully written, and I look forward to reading more in the Logan McKenna Mystery Series.

These two books are the prequels to the Logan Mckenna mystery series. Both books give us more of an insight into Logan’s life and her family history.
Bella is a beautiful story about how Logans great grandmother Norah met Giovanni. Giovanni is a very skilled man and makes beautiful creations. One of his creations ends up becoming a family heirloom that is passed down through the generations. This story is heartwarming and interesting to read about how life was in the past and how hard times were.
JAGGED DAWN- The second story catches up to present day and follows Logan’s life. In this story we live through her pain as she goes through the trauma of losing her husband. Through all the fear and grief we see signs of the Logan we know from the other stories as we see her strength and determination shine through.
Both these stories give us a better insight into Logan’s family history and explains in more detail the pain and trauma that was mention in the following stories when Logan progresses from music teacher to murder detective.

Two short stories bundled into one volume; these are prequels to the Logan McKenna Mystery Series. The story of Bella, a beautifully crafted violin that becomes something of a family heirloom, is mainly told through the voices of Norah and Giovanni. We get to hear all about the bright and sad moments that led Norah and her family through a time when living a simple life meant struggling and persevering through whatever life threw your way. Woven through Norah’s story, we also learn about Giovanni, an Italian immigrant who would eventually come into Norah’s life and create Bella. Though the story of Bella was short, I felt like the magic of the Appalachians came through both narratives and breathed life into the tale. It was a beautifully written novella that had me smiling – if a little sadly – by the end. Jagged Dawn introduces Logan McKenna and sets the tone for what promises to be an intriguing mystery.

Both of these stories included in this book are prequels to the life of Logan. In Bella-An Appalachian Love Story we read the background of Logan’s great grandmother, Norah and the struggles and hardships she faced in the Appalachian country. We also meet Giovanni, an Italian immigrant and his gift for creating beautiful violins. Reading the back history was helpful as we moved into Jagged Dawn, the story of Logan’s beginnings.
Logan finds out some of her family history and is gifted a beautiful violin. She rarely has time to play anymore with all the demands of work and married life. She’s asked to take over the training for a specific company and questions the request since her husband did the vast majority of the family training. On the way home, tragedy strikes this family. Will Logan ever be the same again? Will she ever make beautiful music on her family heirloom again?
I enjoyed both of these stories. I was attracted to this story because of the cover as well as my love for music. I’ll be checking out more of this author’s work as I’d like to read even more of Logan’s story!

This was an interesting story! It is my first by this author and both stories included in this book are prequels to the author’s Logan McKenna Mysteries Series, so I thought this was a good place to start! I really enjoyed the opportunity to get to know the characters and their stories before diving into the series! Both stories are well written with Bella: An Appalachian Love Story taking you back in the past and introducing you to Logan’s grandmother and her story and Jagged Dawn especially helps to build the character of Logan and what she has gone through.
Overall I would recommend these stories and I cannot wait to begin reading the series!

This is the first book that I have read by this author. I have to say this story plot was interesting and the Characters where strongly written with little quirks and all.
Bella story begins 50years ago high in the hills of Appalachian we follow Logan’s great grandmother, Norah, and Giovanni, a young Italian immigrant, who creates his masterpiece, a hand-crafted violin named Bella with unparalleled sound that accompanies each generation that follows. Logan McKenna is battered and wounded, after tragedy and now she is struck into an unknown future. Logan isn’t just a survivor she is thriving driving down the Pacific Coast Highway in her gleaming, sapphire-blue ’58 Corvette rediscovering her love for music playing her beloved Bella. Come read Logans story and discover the mysteries of Bella and the Appalachian hills…. Tracy

I really loved this combination novella. I enjoyed getting to know Norah’s story and Bella’s history. So romantic and tragic. I also enjoyed getting to know Logan. The McKenna women seem to have strength written in their DNA. I also loved sweet Giovanni. Poor guy couldn’t get a fair shake. I am new to this series so I don’t know yet what characters we will see again but I loved seeing William. Both younger and older, he was a delight. The little bit that I got to see made me want to know more about these people. I could read a whole book about any one of these characters. I am fully prepared to devour the Logan McKenna series.
