Amelia Moore Mysteries, Vol. 3 Audible Version, Compilation by Linda Weaver Clarke

I just recently finished listening to the Audible version of The Amelia Moore Mystery Series, Vol 3, Mystery on the Bayou.  I really enjoyed it.  As a young girl reading was my beloved pastime that my friends and I continued to do together through our elementary school years.  Mysteries were my favorite genre in those days, and I can see that my love for mysteries has not waned.

Linda writes a fun and interesting story line.  We find Amelia and Rick, two happy newlyweds in a cozy retreat for their honeymoon, only to be approached by a woman who asks Amelia to locate a son she gave up for adoption 16 years ago.  She has discovered she has a hereditary disease that she feels an urgent need to inform her son about.  Not knowing could be deadly for him.  Amelia takes on the case which leads her to Bayou country and a not so easy to resolve case. 

There are several twists and turns making lots of interesting listening. I enjoyed listening to the Audible version very much and if you enjoy cozy mysteries, with a little touch of romance, you will surely enjoy it as well! 

The narrator Carolyn Kashner has a great way of changing voices of each of the characters.  It's really enjoyable listening and relaxing to this fun Audible book after a long stressful day.  She is so full of expression and very talented!  I loved listening to someone "tell me a story".  I could listen as I drove to and from errands and even while fixing dinner.  It's a great way to "multi-task".

The second story in Vol 3, is The Lighthouse Mystery. It's a great cozy mystery and for me it was awesome because she often writes about places that I know.  This time her book took me to my old home in California, Palm Springs, and as she described it, I could totally visualize it!  Then they were headed to Ventura Harbor.  I used to live in Ojai which is very close by and trips to the beach in Ventura were a remembrance of years past for me!

But aside from this, the Audible book held my attention to the very end.  I loved this clean romance and the resolution to the mysteries.  I look forward to reading and listening to other books from this great author.

I received an Audible version of this book from the author for my honest review, which I have given.  All thoughts are my own.

Never too Late to Dream by Linda Weaver Clarke Audible Version

I just finished listening to this wonderful autobiography by Linda Weaver Clarke that was narrated by Carolyn Kashner.  The story was a real joy to listen to.  It is an uplifting story of the life of Linda  Weaver Clark from childhood to adulthood.  It included hard times, good times and everything in between. 

The book is a Christian book with lots of good lessons to learn for anyone.  She tells about listening to the Still Small Voice as she comes to points in her life of decisions and even impending dangers.  

I was surprised to learn her major in college was basically the same as mine.  She had many trials to work through in her life, perhaps which would be enough to make others give up but Linda never gave up despite the troubles that gave her experiences in her life that probably made her the woman that she is today.

She writes about wanting to be a "normal" teenager.  And I think the experiences she writes about will help others in their trials that sometimes feel so unfair and unwanted.

This is a really interesting story to listen to as well as a good source for ideas in telling your own story for your children and their descendants.  Very enjoyable!

Tales of Willow Valley by Linda Weaver Clarke Audible Version

I enjoyed the listening time spent on this very sweet book.  The narrator, Carolyn Kashner, did a very nice job, both with expression and the different characters that were portrayed.

This full length book entails five historical short love stories. The author is well-known for her sweet romances and these are stories of some of her ancestors and written into a sweet romance, with some excellent details of the time period, the struggles that the people of those days went through as well as everyday life. All with enjoyable storylines...

I am a genealogist, so the fact that she writes tales of her ancestors is a real plus for me as I try to think back and reflect on earlier years and how things change and yet how things also stay the same.

The stories are refreshing tales of good people working through life as do we today, as well. The title of one of the stories which gives me hope for the struggles we are going through now,  "The Light at the End of the Tunnel".  God is always watching out for us and there are good things yet to come.

I found these happy stories just what I needed in these trying days.  I recommend it!

Holidays in Willow Valley by Linda Weaver Clarke (Audible Version)

I have enjoyed all of Linda Weaver Clarke's books.  You can be assured that they are all clean and sweet.  This book contains six short stories of various characters and different holidays celebrated in the 1840 time period.  It is interesting to read of people's customs, and their differences from other countries.  These are enjoyable stories to read any time of year, not just in holiday times. 

The talented narrator brings the characters to life in these sweet stories.  Carolyn Kashner is full of enthusiastic voices for the different characters.

The characters are all wonderful  and the book carries sweet Christian values which I love.

These are very entertaining stories and I hope you will take the time to read them!

Angel's Serenade by Linda Weaver Clarke. Narrated by Carolyn Kashner

I loved this sweet historical romance by Linda Weaver Clarke.  All her books are clean, sweet and very fun and interesting to read.  I was happy to be able to listen to this one.  The story and the characters were caring and good people who were concerned with others and their well-being.

Carolyn Kashner is the narrator used by the author.  I have enjoyed listening to her style and voice.  She uses different tones and voices to make it easy to know who is speaking.  

It had adventure too with the river pirates.  I have to be honest and had never heard of them before, so this was something new for me.  But after I thought about it, I see how this could definitely have been a problem for those traveling along the rivers and being vulnerable to attack.

I know you will enjoy this book.  It is a very good book and I wouldn't have wanted to miss even one of Linda Weaver Clarke's wonderful books.

Mayan Intrigue by Linda Weaver Clarke (Audible book)

I have enjoyed all of Linda Weaver Clarke's books, including her Audible versions of her books.  I have also been very "intrigued" with early civilizations, such as the Mayans.

I loved how this romance mystery had  lots of real moments between John and Julia, not always total bliss but a little strife, if you will.

The story is great and you don't know who are the good or the bad guys.  Who do you trust?  And who will protect them as the smugglers are closing in on them?

It's a good mystery and I love the smuggling story line.  I also liked how Julia and John shared moments of faith and some moments when that faith perhaps wavered just a bit.  Real human feelings.

I think you will love it. Carolyn Kashner was a great voice for the story and I loved her interpretations and also her "accent" which was fun to listen to.

Anasazi Intrigue by Linda Weaver Clarke Audible Version

When I heard of this title it fascinated me greatly because I have a real interest in the Indian petroglyphs, especially those in the state of Utah, where I live.

This amazing artwork and the ancient villages where the Anasazi Indians lived are so amazing and a wonderful sight to see.

This Audible book by Linda Weaver Clarke weaves history, fiction, mystery and romance all into one book.

This author writes about some of the events that occurred in Utah some years ago.  It is a most interesting way of uniting history and fiction into one very good story.  As the story begins, the devastating flood of 2005 is relentlessly taking away with it, homes, property and belongings and what appears to be a possible poison causing death to the fish and animal life.

The main characters Julia and John Evans are a charming couple.  Julia, a novice newspaper reporter hoping to become a reporter with a breaking story that will definitely make an impression.  And that she does when she starts to investigate what appears to be a less than fascinating story.  As the story progresses she runs across some pretty shady characters.  Julia seems to be a courageous woman and also a wonderful wife and mother at the same time.  Her husband, John, not without his faults, is a worthy husband and support in her adventure. 

This  is a really fun read.  I especially enjoyed the history that I remember occurred, not too long ago here in Utah.  I remember the news reports of the houses being shown over and over again on the news as we watched in unbelief.

The story was interesting and I could see myself in the Virgin River area looking for the ruins and the relics that might be there to be discovered.  Loved it!  

I have heard several Audible books narrated by Carolyn Kashner and this one was also great.  She has a pleasant speaking voice with great vocal expression.  I enjoyed this book in Audible form very much!

Edith and the Mysterious Stranger (Audible Version) By Linda Weaver Clarke Narrated by Carolyn Kashner

Just love listening to Linda's Audible books!  She has chosen a great narrator and I have enjoyed this and other Audible books that she has narrated.  Audible books are great for busy people like me, who don't always have time or free hands to "turn the pages".  It's nice to have someone do that for me.

This was another sweet romance by Linda Weaver Clarke and book 2 to her Bear Lake Family Saga does not disappoint.  I have been enjoying this series and happy that I was given a chance to read these books.

Edith is an educated woman who is very particular about men.  She doesn't wait to get to know the inner man if the first or second encounter with this person are not what she expects.  Knowing this, her secret admirer decides that he would like her to get to know him before she has the chance to reject him.  As he finds his own way to court her, she finds herself enthralled with this mysterious man who has not revealed his identity to her.  Will he have better success than the others who have attempted to court this interesting woman?  You will need to read this one for yourself and I am sure that you will enjoy it. 

I hope that I will be able to read this entire series.
