![]() ![]() It will probably take me a few months/year to work through the entire series, but I’ve finally begun. I’ve been told to read the O’Malley series for a while now. You'll thank me for the recommendation, won't want to put them down, and will keep reading until all her books are on your shelf. If you haven't read Henderson's books-start today. I bet there is a good story there, as well. I wish I could sit down with Dee and ask about her motivation and interest in writing novels about people in law enforcement. ![]() I found heart-pounding moments, tearful moments, and joyful moments while walking through the lives of Sara, Dave and Adam. In Danger in the Shadows, she takes the themes of a child's kidnapping & living in a life of fear and weaves in trusting the Lord and what it really means to do this when times are not smooth. ![]() I like the fact that the romance thread is there but isn't the front line story, usually it comes in as the undercurrent to an intense story. ![]() They are in depth novels you want read almost in one setting, and yes, even reread. Her novels aren't the squeaky clean, perfect charactered, sugary, romance novels some Christian women authors write that I just can't stomach. Over the years, I've read most of Dee's books and have decided to start rereading them. My mom told me years ago that her friend's daughter wrote books and gave me one to read. ![]()
