By Donetta Garman<br /><br />Genre: Christian Fiction/Suspense<br /><br />Title: Crystal Clear<br /><br />Author: Cindy Bauer<br /><br /> This is third and final book of Ms. Bauer’s “Memory Box Trilogy”, which included the first book Chasing Memories and Shades of Blue.<br /><br /> The first chapter draws in the reader. “The call came as a shock to Susan. She couldn’t begin to grasp the reality that her next guest at the shelter would be Annie Thompson. Never had that possibility entered her mind.”<br /><br /> As I began to read, the whole plot and story moved along nicely. I instantly recognized many of the characters from the first two books in the trilogy. Each person was like meeting an old friend.<br /><br />As this suspense<br />ful tale unfolded, I found myself wondering how the author would tie all three of the books together. The great thing was that the plot was not contrived and the story line had several nice surprises.<br /><br />The tale has Annie Thompson returning home to start her own Veterinary Practice after graduating from college. Soon mysterious mishaps and even danger begins to happen to the young college graduate and her mother Laura along with her step-father Greg. The reader is lead on a journey of suspense laced with intrigue and a touch of romance, as Annie and her family try to figure out the mystery surrounding them.<br /><br />Cindy Bauer has created a Christian thriller/romance sure to please even the most discerning readers in her book, Crystal Clear. The life-like characters and the nicely woven story, not to mention the imaginative book cover, create a book that I would recommend to others.<br />Reviewed by: Donetta Garman, author Growing Up Ugly and The Length of a Dream.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8693314398852617044-8186448927873049882?l=garmanbooks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Growing Up Uglyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01661180173066162086noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8693314398852617044.post-65363182406688653162008-12-28T11:47:00.000-08:002008-12-28T11:49:12.396-08:00Welcome to the <em>Growing Up Ugly </em>blog.
