What an amazing follow-up to Boy on Hold! After finishing Boy on Hold, I was delighted to discover Boy Released, and instantly had to read it! I was not disappointed in the slightest, J. D. Spero once again perfectly painted how much mental health can impact people’s lives, Tyler being released from psychiatric care at the beginning of the book ten years after the murder of sally Hubbard. It also does a good job at showing the changes to Hen in the ten years that have passed since the previous novel, showing his struggles as a teenager about to inherit an entire estate and struggling to know what to do with it. It was also interesting to see the different dynamics between Marcella and Bernie after ten years had passed. Definitely happy I read it!

Into the Lions Den is a lovely cozy mystery. Reverend Margot Quade is invited to dinner with a the family of her close friend Daniel, who she served with in the military. The dinner quickly takes a tragic turn when her friend’s uncle is found dead. Margot finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time and is left to support the family while the local police are investigating. This is a nice short book with likable characters and an intriguing mystery. It is a good introduction to the series and would recommend to fans of this genre.

Nothing better than a sweet short mystery to take me into the weekend. I love mystery, psychological thrillers, and thrillers, but once in a while I love the sweet mysteries. The writing of cozy mysteries have piqued my interest for several reasons. The main reason is the gift of the author to tell me the story and hold my interest in a short story format for the mystery. In this story Reverend Margot Quade was invited to dinner, which turns out to be a murder at dinner. Will Reverend Margot Quade be able to solve the mystery? Will the tension between family members be too much? I highly recommend you read this mystery to find out the answer to these questions and more.

This is a cute and wholesome mystery and I love Sarah Biglow’s writing. I love a murder mystery and with a reverend out to solve it makes it even better. The story was easily developed and I enjoyed the way the mystery unfolded. After returning to her hometown, Margot is pulled into a mystery she feels compelled to solve. Complicating things worse is a snowstorm in the victim’s house which could lead to a deadly demise for someone. Margot’s own cousin is in charge of the investigation which could lead them to bump heads. This was a fun page-turner with wonderful characters who will keep you entertained from start to finish.

Into the Lion’s Den: ( A Christian Cozy Mystery) by Sarah Biglow is the first book in the Reverend Margot Quade Cozy Mysteries series. This is a sweet, easy read that you will able to get yourself lost in for a few hours. This is a nice, clean mystery book so for those who prefer their books on the cleaner side then I would definitely recommend this book. This author did really well with keep the book that way without losing the interest of the reader. The book was still interesting and fun to read and the characters were all still enjoyable. I really liked as well that even though it is pegged as a “Christian Cozy” story, never at any point did it feel like it was being forced upon you. Of course the topic was there, and was prevalent in the book, but the author did a tasteful job of including it. For me this actually made the book all the more enjoyable. I have read a few books now by this author and I have enjoyed every one of them. This is obviously the start of a great new series and I cannot wait to read more!

Into the Lion’s Den is the first book in the Reverend Margot Quade Cozy Mysteries series by Sarah Biglow. Reverend Margot Quade, after serving overseas, has come home to Port Marie, Vermont in hopes of finding where she belongs. A friendly dinner with a unit member of Margot’s turns into a murder mystery. Now Margot is among a murder and is forced to spend the night due to a horrible snowstorm. Her cousin, who lost contact with Margot while she was overseas, is the officer on the case. They must put their differences aside to help solve the mystery. Margot is determined to figure out what really happened and who is the murder behind it all. I loved reading this quick, cozy mystery story. Margot is such a strong female character, but I appreciated how the author uncovered some of her struggles from having been part of the military world. I thought the mystery wasn’t totally obvious which made reading the story much more interesting. I look forward to reading other stories in this series.

This was a great little cozy mystery that I read in one sitting. It was so gripping I couldn’t put it down. The characters are well written and their stories easy to follow which makes the books a enjoyable easy read.
Margot was an army chaplain. When she returned to her home an old army buddy invites her to dinner at his home with his family. Who would have guessed this innocent invitation would turn into a murder mystery. Everyone has a motive and a means but who committed the crime. This book will keep you guessing right up until the end and the ending will shock you.

Into the Lion’s Den is the first book in the Reverend Margot Quade Cozy Mystery series by Sarah Biglow. This is a little different from the other books of Sarah Biglow’s that I have read and enjoyed- but as I love everything crime and mystery, I couldn’t wait to dive in. Margot Quade has just returned from a tour of duty, serving as Chaplain in her overseas deployment. She has only recently arrived back home, still adjusting to civilian life and trying to find where she belongs now. So, when a fellow ‘brother-in-arms’ who she became friends with whilst in service, invites her over for dinner so he can introduce her to his family- Margot accepts. What should have been a relaxing dinner with an old friend soon turns into a murder investigation, as one of the guests is found dead. Added to the tension is the fact that a severe snowstorm has moved into the area and Margot will be suck at the house with all the other dinner guests, one of whom is the murderer. What happens here makes for a intriguing read. This is the quintessential ‘cozy mystery’, and I really enjoyed meeting Reverend Margot Quade and following along on her story. I think this is a great start to an intriguing series. I can visualize this making a great television series or movie. Looking forward to catching up with Margot again in the next book!

A friendly dinner invitation, a snowstorm and a murder see Reverend Margot putting all the pieces together in this “who-done-it” style story.

I enjoyed this short mystery story. This is an author that I never hesitate to read. Her books are always creative and full of imagination. This is one of my favorites by her yet. This story is no different. It is a well written story that kept me engaged to the end. I was pulled in right from the start and it kept me turning pages to the end. This is a mystery story about Margot and what happens when she goes back to her hometown. One thing she never expected was to find herself in the middle of a mystery. One dinner and a snowstorm turns deadly for someone. She cannot resist a good mystery and has to solve this. How will this affect her relationship with her cousin? Will they find justice or will Margot’s past have something to do with it? I enjoyed these characters very much. I had no problem connecting with them as they made the story feel real for me. They are strong and keep the story moving. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Reverend Margot Quade never expected to be dropped in the midst of a murder. She just wanted to get reacquainted with her hometown of Port Marie, Vermont, maybe find her place in the world again after serving her tour of duty. But when a friendly dinner with a member of her unit turns deadly, she’s pulled into a mystery she can’t help but solve. Then things go from dead to worse when she and all the suspects are stuck in the victim’s home during the worst snowstorm her little town has seen in decades. Now she’ll need more than a prayer to discover the truth behind who wanted the victim out of the picture … and to stay alive herself. To complicate matters, her strained relationship with her cousin, who just happens to be the attending officer, threatens to ruin the whole investigation. Can Margot and her cousin set aside their differences and bring a killer to justice? Or will the real reason behind the murder haunt Margot as much as her past?
