More editing needed.This is a charming mystery with a slight Christian flavor to it. It is not a preachy Christian mystery. Amanda Liesing just seeks strength and direction, sometimes, from her higher power. For those who have read my reviews before, you know I just love mysteries with older folk in them. Their take on things is different, and this author grabs that difference through out the whole book.Amanda Liesing is the widow  of Sean Liesing who was a police officer. Sean and Police Chief Jenkins were friends.Amanda's best friend is Prunella. Prunella and Amanda have supported each other through trials and tribulations for a long time.For some reason, bodies are always being dropped off at Amanda's door. Amanda does not know who is leaving them or why. So, she has started keeping files on the bodies, with as much evidence as she can of what they looked like when dropped off at her door. Then, she disposes the bodies in a place where the police will be sure to find them. Amanda learned a fair amount of detecting skills from her husband Sean. Who is doing the murders? Why are they dropping bodies off to Amanda? The plot thickens.I found this story to be well written despite the edit problems. The story flows well and is easy to understand. The only flaw I found with the story is I still don't know who dropped the bodies to Amanda, although I think I have guessed it. Would also like to see if Jenkins and Amanda get together. So, that being said, do we have a sequel coming? Would be nice.I love all the characters in this book. I also think that when you meet one of them in particular, you will be reinforced that, just because you are up in years does not mean you have to lay down and softly fade away.I guess, along with this being a good mystery, I like the idea of seeing that older folk do not have to fade away. We have worth and we should never be afraid to show it.I recommend this book to all ages, but remember, there are some murders here. For your more susceptible children, use caution.ENjoy!
