MY REVIEW
I must admit that as a guy, reading the words "romantic mystery" on the back cover of a novel do cause me to feel some fear and trembling. While I usually try to finish a novel, books in this genre have caused me to walk away numerous times from a book that has come highly recommended. In the case of Secrets of Harmony Grove, I was not even tempted once to walk away, because the story grabbed me and wouldn't let go. I enjoyed the suspense and the twists and turns, along with the sobering historical glimpses from the Holocaust that were provided. Clark provided an enjoyable read that was not only entertaining but was thought-provoking as well.
