Fall is a fantastic time of year when the leaves begin to change with a multitude of brilliant colours and contrasts. What better way to enjoy the cool breezes on your front porch as the colourful leaves fall down with a great book. The fall line up has been filled with some great crime, mysteries, thrillers, drama and humour. There's something for everyone.The featured book for this Fall is "The Shack" by William P. Young.
Mac is a grief-stricken father in mid-life about to have an extraordinary experience with God. His great sadness began four years ago on a weekend camping trip, when his 6-year-old daughter, Missy, was murdered. What he couldn't know then, but is about to learn, was God's purpose for Missy's death. Roger Mueller's clear, gentle voice characterizes Mac's family with high-spirited joy and laughter. His portrayal of Missy's animated excitement makes her especially believable. His polished performance of grief-stricken Mac brings tears. With empathy and sensitivity, Mueller captures the mysterious voices of those who have invited him to the now abandoned, yet transformed, cabin in the wilderness. This compelling fantasy explores themes of love, loss, and blame.

I read No Such Creature. I thought that it was going to be predictable and boring. Luckily I was wrong! Blunt takes the reader is unexpected directions and I really grew to love the two main characters.
