The Diamond Secret is an easy going, calm suspense novel. Suspense Lite with small spiritual splashes tossed in here and there.I'd like to thank NetGalley and Harlequin Books for the review copy of this title.The Love Inspired line from this publisher is quite good. If you are looking for books free of swearing and sex, pick them up. Even if you don't normally read religious books, I encourage you to give one or two a try. The themes are usually quite light - more positive messages versus overly religious. A good example isThe Baron's Governess Bride (Love Inspired Historical). I like that one very much.The Diamond Secret was a little too easy going for me. The mystery was primarily presented as retelling of past events, the suspects were too few, and various story elements were told, then retold, then presented one final time.I enjoyed the New Orleans setting, but I found myself skimming due to the repetitive writing. This author has many books out and seems to be popular. Perhaps I will try something else by her.
