My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Things are certainly not what they seem in this series, and the fourth book isn’t any different. I really like reading books that are exciting from the first page, and author Kimberly Mullins seems to have that down to an art. Emma and Jeremy are in a train wreck, a strange woman is dancing with Emma’s Papa, and Emma is adding more and more to her resume. I love reading about the family dynamics. The writing is very true to the times. I am not very big on romance books, but the Notebook Mysteries series is perfectly balanced for me. There is more mystery than there is lovey dovey, and those are my kind of books! I am going to be sending the whole set to my fifteen-year-old granddaughter.

Fast forward to 1887, we return with another promising adventure. Emma awakes in a dangerous situation. At first it seems that she is alone, but Dear One is with her. The circumstances of their situation are slowly revealed to the reader. Which appears to be the first mystery of many. This book, like the others in the series, is full of mystery, intrigue and plot twists. I have enjoyed it thoroughly and hope to find out where life takes Emma next.

As the series progresses so do the crimes and this time Emma’s path Color’s sea with those of some rather mean bank robbers so after their ordeal Emma decides a time of rest is in order but soon enough the bug is biting her and she’s hungry for adventure and the case she takes on has her so busy that Jeremy jumps in and helps , both now have their hands full and all is not as it seems ….

This instalment felt a little different to the others , like the pace was a little faster and the read was a little more intense , does that make sense ?

I’ve really enjoyed each book but this one really has captured my attention and a wee Tim favourite this far ❣️📕

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The fourth book of the Notebook Mysteries, unexpected outcomes, continues to follow Emma – a young, observant sleuth. This book is a good end to a fun series!

Emma has grown and matured through the books to get to this place. The mysteries are as tangled as ever, the costs even greater. It’s fun to see the events from Emma’s perspective and I love how familiar the characters have become.

The story does build on itself so I suggest you start with book 1. You won’t regret it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The author does not disappoint once again in book 4 of the Notebook Mysteries series! These stories are incredible as you continue to discover more about Emma, the main character. Emma goes through so many suspenseful and challenging issues that very quickly you are in shock with each turn of events. The historical nature of this story, in addition to the imagery in the author’s writing makes you feel as if you are right there in the 1880’s experiencing the cultural and even climate changes. Emma develops her love interest all the more in this book in the series, so it is not only packed with lots of twists and turns, but it gives the romantic side as well! I could easily see this in a movie. I am looking forward to the next book in the series next month and I can’t wait!!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Emma and crew are back, building relationships and solving mysteries. This one is in 1887 and starts off with a bang. Emma and Jeremy are building their lives together and growing together as a couple. They are so sweet, so well written, and I love that Emma is a strong young female lead and Jeremy is an adamant supporter of her.

Going from chasing bank robbers, train crashes, murder, missing spouses, sabotage and child endangerment to feeling unsure of Jeremy’s mothers intentions once they meet and scouring the papers for cases because Emma is bored seems like a big range of topics. However, as with the rest, Emma and her world is beautifully written, has great leads, wonderful descriptions, excitement, excellent relationship building and is all tied together and delivered with a bow. These books stay on your mind until you can devour the whole thing.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Emma is back and with her trusty team of investigators and they are as busy as always, we start with her and Jeremy chasing bank robbers across the country on the railroad, however, when the train crashes, the pair are caught up in the casualties. As they try to extricate themselves from the wreckage, they are working out where they are and how help can be arranged, so Emma goes off to find someone and when help arrives, the local town help to catch the robbers.

When they eventually arrive home, the whole family are there to greet them, but they cannot rest for long as Emma is on the hunt for another case, she consults the local newspapers and finds something that doesn’t ring true, it is about the possible murder of a woman and the disappearance of the husband at around the same time, but it is more all encompassing than she thought and has to bring Jeremy in again to help her on her other case. The other case centres around the industrial district of Chicago and the possible sabotage of one of the factories there and the more that Jeremy sees, the more he is appalled by the reactions of those around him.

As the research is ongoing and the investigations continue, Emma and Jeremy lean on each other as they are affected by their cases, they both realise just how perceptions can change the viewpoints of those around them, but will they be able to stay safe and solve the cases? This is another exciting mystery where nothing is as it seems and every corner turned brings something unexpected, as you follow along with these intrepid investigators.

Emotional, action packed, fun with a wonderful story line and great characters! I have thoroughly enjoyed this series following Emma and her sleuthing ways. The character growth throughout the series is phenomenal and will leave you wanting more. I really hate to see the end to this series come, but understand final curtains are a necessary step for every author. I wouldn’t read these books out of order as they make a larger impact together. In one word this series was BRILLIANT!

Notebook Mysteries ~ Unexpected Outcomes (Notebook Mysteries Book 4) by Kimberly Mullins

Notebook Mysteries ~Unexpected Outcomes is the fourth book in the Notebook Mysteries series. This is wonderfully written story that I had a hard time putting down. I highly recommend reading the previous books in this series if you haven’t already as they give a better understanding of what is going on and you get to know the characters better. Plus they are all definitely worth the read. This one just might be my favorite yet. This is a story about Emma and Jeremy and these two solve Mysteries . But what will happen when they realize there cases might not be what they seem to be? They start to re-evaluate their own lives. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading many more books by this author.

Unexpected is spot on
With every book I fall in love with the characters a little bit more. I love the history interwoven with the mystery. Emma and Jeremy are wonderful characters and they make for a daring couple. The story is an adventure layered in distrust, family drama , suspense and danger. From train wrecks to heists this book has it all. Please read this series from book one, as there is a storyline that continues throughout. Highly recommend.

Emma and Jeremy are such a sweet couple (I hope we get to see their wedding in a future book). When Jeremy’s mother comes to town Emma isn’t sure of her true intentions, but eventually realizes she may be being unfair. Emma just seems to have a natural talent for knowing when to push a little further and follow her gut to find the truth. Mote mysteries solved, more family connections made, and more Emma and her adventures. With every new book in the series, I believe I am becoming addicted.

Full of mystery, intrigue, adventure and more this fourth installment really blew me out of the water. Much like the three previous books in this series you could read this as a standalone, however in doing so I believe you would miss out on some great adventures and of course more background on some of out favorite characters. Personally while the previous three were great I loved the adventure in this one. Full of murder, sabotage, danger and more this faced paced novel will definitely keep you on your toes.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Unexpected Outcomes is the 4th book in the Notebook Mysteries series. I love reading this series, the books are full of adventure and mystery. This book continued building on the same characters, with the focus on Emma and Jeremy. I like that it spent quite a bit of time on their parents and building the history of Cole, Ellis and Abbey. They have an interesting past, and I was happy to see it come full circle. The ending was a bit abrupt for my liking, so I hope there is another book to come. I wish the final chapter was an epilogue with a bit more detail to it. This book had a lot of cases involved, so it moves around quite a bit. However, they all tie together due to Emma and Jeremy and their family. The series gives us a view into the previous century, but I’m not sure how accurate it is. They send a lot of telegrams and send for carriages often, which I anticipate would be quite costly in that era. I also don’t think the police would have been so accepting in having a female civilian being part of their cases, interviewing their suspects, etc. But aside from that, I love the story and series.

Book 4 of this series has been my favorite so far!!! Emma and Jeremy have been tasked with taking down a ring of robbers. They are responsible for bringing back the jewels from Tiffany & Co to the museum for an exhibit but they know that evil is lurking at every corner. On top of that, there is a murder to try to solve too.

This read holds a lot of excitement and mystery!! I love seeing Emma mature and how she is handling what could be a most difficult situation in this particular story. Can the relationship she has with Jeremy be sustained given the current circumstances??

You’ll have to read to find out!

Another great book in the series. This book feels more mature than the previous three and Emma is really starting to grow. She has always been someone that made hasty decisions without others feelings and she is learning not to do that. This book focused on one major mystery which I really enjoyed because it also allowed character development for the other characters as well. This book did brings twists but was well written. Again, this book can be read as a stand alone book but the others help this book to be elevated to what it is.

I have read every book in this series and I think this one is my favorite! Notebook Mysteries: Unexpected Outcomes starts right out with the action. Emma and Jeremy start the book by getting into a train crash while in the midst of pursuing a crime. As they get help and return to their case they find themselves with more issues. Emma has to juggle more cases with meeting her partner/fiance’s (Jeremy) mother Abbey. Abbey also happens to have a bit of a history with Emma’s father. Emma takes it all in stride while continuing to be her strong, courageous self. I love Kimberly Mullins’s writing! This book has her signature strong plot and well-written characters. It is wonderfully fast-paced and adventurous!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book 4 starts us with Emma in 1887. Jeremy and Emma am start off immediately chasing bank robbers after a train wreck is used to help them escape and as usual death and mystery are in the air.

Once they’ve solved one mystery and return home there’s a bit of downtime, however, Emma is determined to not let normal life bring her down. Constantly searching for the next case, Emma searches the newspaper eagerly. Soon she’s got her hands full with one case and needs help with a second case that’s unfolding.

As usual, nothing is ever as it seems and Emma and Jeremy are left wondering if anything around them is what it appears.

Unexpected Outcomes is book 4 in the series and just like before, it all flows together. I feel like the reader can get more insight into what/who the Narrator might be, and just how strongly they (Narrator) follow along with the cases.

The story is strong in detail right from the start and definitely pulls your attention easily. I felt that the length worked well with the amount of cases and detail the author worked in and I’m excited for the next installment!

I love mystery stories. I love this type of mystery story! Emma and Jeremy are a team, not just a couple. You see that more as the story progresses that they work well together in the team manor. Emma is a courier that has a lot of various “jobs” and trains are one that cause her problems as you will see in this story.

With the help of Jeremy and her family and friends she is able to solve several cases. All while being caught in the crossfires several times of danger! Jeremy wants to change child labor at a local factory after solving a case for them. You learn to love him and his heart is in the best interest of helping others. He wants to see the best in people to.

I did like how the author tied Emma and Jeremy’s families together. Like they were truly meant to be together.

I am for sure looking forward to more from this author!

Having read and enjoyed the previous books in this series, I was looking forward to this fourth instalment, and I was not disappointed. I was yet again hooked from start to finish and it was lovely being back with our heroine, Emma, and Jeremy, as they go off on adventures to solve crimes and mysteries. Due to the wonderful descriptive narrative I was transported back to 1887, to Chicago, where Emma and Jeremy are chasing bank robbers. The pair get caught up in a train wreck and have to get help from a nearby town, all whilst avoiding injuries themselves. Never one to be bored, once they are home and recovered, Emma finds a new case whilst looking through the newspaper. When a second case turns up Jeremy steps in, but they soon become entangled in each other’s cases. Whilst Emma’s case involves a missing husband and murder, Jeremy is looking into child labour and possible sabotage. They both quickly learn that things are not as they appear in either case, and have to make tough decisions. I was fully immersed in the storyline and the plot twists kept me gripped. The story is fairly fast paced and the main characters are so well defined that Emma and Jeremy feel like old friends. I hope there will be a book five!

This book begins with a bang! Emma and Jeremy wake up after a train crash and have to ferret out the robbers they were seeking. Once found, they realize that there is more going on than just a simple robbery. The treachery runs deeper. They return home to some normalcy, only to find their fathers past has come back into town! With one father speculative on the newcomer and one welcoming, how will it all pan out? Can the new person be trusted? What will the fall out of their return cause? As the mysteries continue to roll in and be solved, the family finds themselves working together more and more to find the truth in all of their cases.

I enjoy reading these books! Emma and her family are all relatable characters. They are presented in a very down to earth manner and very believable. I like how they all have meetings and dinners together to discuss how to solve cases. And even when they can’t share the details, they still support each other the best that they can. As an added bonus, the author also puts the recipes they discuss in the book at the back!

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!

I have been a loyal fan of this author and series for quite some time now! Each book you get to go on a grand mystery that is afoot, and see great moments and action and work alongside Emma to get to the bottom of the mystery! This one is currently my favorite, there was so much to enjoy!

Emma and Jeremy certainly have come along way with this installment I must say! I loved their character development and moments of being together that also involved working together. What intrigued me with book, was that I should have not of expected what I expected. There were a lot of surprises and things I didn’t even take a count for! The writing as always was perfect, and I was swept away! Loved it!

Amazing series, and if you have not followed Emma from the start, I suggest you do so! I loved this series and installment so very much! A must read, and one that I very highly recommend!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Set in the period of 1880’s Chicago, Emma and her beau Jeremy solve mysteries together. Let me tell you, this book starts off with a bang and never lets up! We find Emma and Jeremy are victims of a train wreck and soon find out why the train was sabotaged. As Emma gets help from a town close by, she can help the survivors of the train wreck and collect the money they were seeking. Upon returning home, Emma finds herself wrapped up in a new mystery she found in the newspaper and Jeremy is looking into child labor and sabotage of the glass factory that hires and abuses the children. We find out more about Jeremy’s mother and the relationship between their two fathers. Wow, it’s an explosive story for sure.
I appreciate this cute little book in the Notebook Mysteries Series. I just adore the relationship between Emma and Jeremy and find them to almost be the perfect couple supporting each other along the way. The characters are so well-written and easy to identify with. The story does not let up for a moment as we travel along with Emma to solves the mysteries and to keep her family intact. Such a great clean read and the best part of the story is that the main character is a very strong female knife wielding lead. Most enticing aspect was where Emma learned her knife skills from. A definite must read for a day at the beach or lounging around the pool. The words just flow off the page and images of bustles, horse drawn carriages, and Pinkerton agents just filled my head with delightful images. Mullins has done it again!

If you haven’t read any of Emma’s adventures you may just be missing out. This book starts off with Emma and Jeremy having been in a train accident. They were on a case trying to get back some silver that had recently been stolen. Once those robbers were apprehended they headed back to Chicago to be put on a couple more cases. These characters are so interwoven yet independent which, for the time period these stories are set in, I find fascinating. Emma gets to be a strong female character and show off her amazing detective skills and logical thinking. The author has been doing a great job keeping her readers engaged. I look forward to starting the next book as soon as I find some time.
