The Sleuth's Miscalculation (The Librarian Sleuth Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Kimberly Rose Johnson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars (732)
Two strong-willed sleuths team up to solve a mystery. Can they work together, or will their differences pull them apart?

Librarian Nancy Daley loves a good mystery and enjoys moonlighting as a consultant for the sheriff’s department. When license plates go missing in Tipton County, she’s on the case. This time things are different—she’s been partnered with the new deputy, and he’s not interested in her help. To make matters worse, she’s angered the wrong person and is now being threatened.

Sheriff Deputy Carter Malone expects Tipton, Oregon to be a sleepy small-town, but he miscalculated. He’d come to town for a fresh start with his nephew—one without the issues big cities deal with. Had he made a mistake? To complicate matters, he’s told he must consult with the sheriff’s daughter, who is not in law enforcement. When the minor case they are working morphs into something more, things quickly go from harmless to scary.

Can they solve the mystery before it’s too late, and more importantly, what will they do about their growing attraction?

    This is my 1st book by this author. The characters were very likable. It was a fun mystery to read. I liked the book in that it was a cute love story that wasn't sleazy. The mystery was about a theft, not a bloody murder. The book is not overtly Christian, which is fine with me. The fact that it isn't sleazy makes it much more enjoyable to read. I appreciated the twists in the plot. It was a fun, easy read!

    The book has a good plot with a lot of suspects. You have to wait for the end to find the culprit. The main characters are like real people. Well described, it's easy to imagine them acting out the events of the story.

    Awesome read, characters and storyline. First page on keeps you wanting more. Nancy helped her mom, the sheriff, work on investigation and no one expected she was. Her mom hires a new deputy from out of state who has adopted his nephew. He is learning how to be a parent to a teenager and Nancy starts getting murder threats he is working on. So much started about the time him and his nephew arrives. A definite must read to find out all the awesomeness

    3.0 out of 5 stars Great Mystery, but Weak Christian Message and Standards
    Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2019
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    If you are simply looking for a great cozy mystery, this is a fun book. It is well written and has a decent level of suspense and mystery.

    If you are looking for a Christian book that's inspirational with a strong moral standard and Biblical wisdom, this is not that book. Personally, I love a good mystery, but I am put off by books that are labeled Christian yet have a ton of carnality in them.

    There is a lot of flirtation and romance, not anything beautiful and wholesome. Throughout the book, several characters hang out unchaperoned, alone in each other's homes and/rooms. Though nothing happens beyond a kiss (not given in detail), a holding of hands, and occasional rubbing of shoulders, this book sets the temptations out there. The characters' thoughts and desires for progress in relationships is a main topic in the story.

    As far as a Christian message, even the characters in the book have to ask each other if they are Christians because their faith isn't a central part of their lives. There are a few moments in the book where the writer takes time to allow a character to give a general "I try to follow God in my life" message, but that declaration isn't evidenced anywhere in the story other than touching on the basic themes of forgiveness and that lying is bad. This book doesn't share the Gospel.

    In a small town in Oregon it is usually quiet, but someone is stealing license plates. A new deputy, used to working in the big city, arrested the Sheriff’s daughter for breaking and entering. She was given permission by the owner, but still put her in cuffs.
    As the story continues they work on the case together until she is put in danger.
    A friendly little town and no clues. Enjoyed the book.

    I love that a librarian is the main character. There is a strong Christian theme of forgiveness and leaving the past behind. But, the book is a fun read and mystery to solve.

    A cute story. Really appreciated that lack of cursing in the story, and it was a good Christian mystery. Nancy is one of those women who just can’t stay out of trouble
    so needs someone to watch over her.

    I liked the characters in this book. Nancy was the darling of the town where her mother was the sheriff. This made it puzzling that someone was leaving threatening messages for her. A new Deputy sheriff joined forces with her to try to solve the spate of licence plate thefts. Lots of suspects and twists that will keep the reader guessing.
