Review: Gentle character-driven mystery
Rating: 4 out of 5

The plot device of Henry the carrier pigeon was original and imaginative. Not sure how Henry could always find Evelyn, but since he did, I accepted it. Tammy and Warren seemed like comfortable old friends that I'd known for a long time.I also liked the unhurried pace of the book. Rebecca lets events unfold in their own time, in between cleaning the chicken coop, weeding the garden and relaxing in the recliner. Life does go on, even when we're worried about friends.So who writes a perfect book? Rebecca has penned a gentle character-driven mystery with a highly original premise. Not a breakneck-speed-adrenaline thriller by any means. Just a nice, quiet, satisfying story. In strident times such as ours, that makes Messages from Henry worth reading.
