Invisible

I've just recently been given a Nook, so I am downloading books to read that I don't have to wait for in the mail, or that are too heavy for me to hold on to... one excuse is as good as another I suppose - I love my Nook!

The book I have just finished digitally reading is "Invisible" by Leena McCourtney, the first book in her "Ivy Malone" series. It is Christian mystery, which I did not know when I downloaded the book, so that was a nice surprise! It isn't "beat you over the head with a bible"-type Christianity; it is just weaved in here and there, like it is natural - which, of course, for Christians, it is!

I love murder mysteries in general, but the main character in this series of books refers to herself as a LOL (little old lady). Ivy is enchanting, vibrant, has "senior moments", talks to herself and enjoys solving mysteries that crop up around her. It was such a great and fast read for me that I've already downloaded the second book in the series, which picks up exactly where the first book leaves off, and am reading like crazy again!

I believe you have to like the main character in books, especially mysteries, or you're just going to be miserable throughout the whole book (or books). I tried to read the "Alphabet" mysteries, but I just couldn't stand the main character (my son has read every one of them!); no accounting for taste, I guess.

Give the book a read and tell me what you think of Ivy, of the part Christianity plays in her life, or anything else about the book that stands out to you. I'll enjoy reading your comments!
