Miranda Warning is a women's fiction mystery, which I enjoyed reading. It has solid elements of women's friendships, but the main storyline deals with solving a 40-year-old mystery in the mountains of West Virginia. The setting significantly adds to the charm of the novel. I love the authentic customs, lifestyle and relationships that one would find in many such contemporary, small towns.

Strong Christian themes are woven into the story, along with opportunities for characters to obey God and put into practice the Biblical principles they have learned. There are joyful and peaceful experiences, but many, also, of angst and succumbing to evil forces.

Tess Spencer is a great female protagonist. She's gutsy, loyal, and sometimes tender-hearted--just the kind of woman that makes an outstanding best friend.
