My Review

This is a good collection of novellas of suspense and a good way to get acquainted with a number of bestselling Christian mystery and suspense authors. Most of the stories are of the police procedure type but there is one that is psychological as a woman whose baby died is accused of stealing another. One plot deals with cutting edge genetic research where a person is willing to kill to gain control of the lucrative company. One story takes us deep into the dark web where a game turns out to actually be an avenue for selling armaments. Another is about a drug ring where some of the local police are involved. And there is another that is more war oriented, taking place in Iraq. There is even a story for the lover of all things Amish.

As with a variety of authors, there is also a variety of writing styles and quality of story structure and suspense. There were a couple of stories that seemed a bit off to me. One had a food truck parked on an incline. I wondered how the owner could possibly cook the breakfast eggs. And that woman failed to take a photo with her phone of the threat written in ketchup? Another story had a successful murder mystery author thoughtlessly touching places at a crime scene and a police officer setting in a cafe with her back to the window.

The collection contained a few minor defects but I felt in general it is a good variety of mystery and suspense stories. The number of stories provides good entertainment for a couple of weeks when a story a day is read.

My rating: 4/5 stars.

More from Mary

Have you ever wondered how a book collection comes to be. Well, it all starts with an idea.

Dangerous Pursuits was the brainchild of author Dana Mentink who reached out to me with the idea of creating a book collection featuring multiple authors. We decided we wanted to try and make the USA Today Bestsellers List with this collection which is quite the challenge.

With the help of Cynthia Hickey, who created the fabulous cover for Dangerous Pursuits, we set out to put together a collection of mystery and suspense books to please our readers.

We reached out to some of our fellow authors who graciously agreed to help, and now we are blessed to have this amazing line-up of 15 wonderful authors. Lisa Harris, Therese Heckenkamp, Cynthia Hickey, Gina Holder, Ronie Kendig, Loree Lough, Dana R Lynn, Shirlee McCoy, Dana Mentink, J. Carol Nemeth, Cara Putman, Sharee Stover, Terri Reed, Lenora Worth, and myself, Mary Alford.

The book is set to release on October 12^th. Cynthia gave the cover a mysterious fall feel that we believe will appeal to readers who love mystery and suspense. Next we came up with a catchy blurb that hopefully adds to the fall suspense theme;

Crisp Days. Cold Nights. Dangerous Pursuits.

The chill of fall brings with it a hint of peril in Dangerous Pursuits, a clean and Christian suspense anthology featuring some of today’s most popular female authors.

And so, Dangerous Pursuits was born.

I am very proud to be part of this collection. With so many talented authors bringing their best, I believe our readers will find something they enjoy, and we look forward to each of you reading it.

Because above all else, it’s all about the story.

Blessings always,

Mary Alford
