Unforeseeable by Nancy Mehl

My favorite of  The Road to Kingdom series!

Callie works in the restaurant owned by Lizzie.  Everything is going well for Callie.  She is engaged to Lizze's brother-in-Law Levi Houser.  Levi has recently become the new minister of the local Mennonite church.

Everything is peaceable in Kingdom until a woman's body is discovered on the side of the road wrapped in plastic.  What complicates the murder investigation is that the woman has one of Levi's books in her hands.  Nobody knows who this woman is.  She is a stranger in town and then another woman is murdered and this time the woman is no stranger.  Is there a serial murdered on the loose in Kingdom.  Is it one of the local people or a complete stranger.  You really have no idea who it is until the last 20 pages of the book and then the surprises keep coming.

I think the romance in this novel was better developed than in the previous two novels.  Also I liked the mystery better.  It kept me turning pages until I finished.

Thanks to Bethany House for providing me a copy of this book to review.
