I first published this review June 14, 2011
In
the year 2000 I discovered a new-to-me author. Anyway, I think it was
around 2000. Earlene Fowler is a Christian from California. She writes
mystery novels about one of my favorite heroines, Benni Harper. There
are 15 books so far in this series. The title of each book is the name
of a quilt pattern. You can see a list of her books on her web site: http://www.earlenefowler.com/
I just finished her newest book Spider Web. Fowler's
books are easy to read and entertaining. On one of my earlier blogs, I
wrote about finding friends in books - Fowler has a talent of making her
characters seem like your friends from next door. Her books are "cozy
mystery's." (I think I'll chase the "cozy mystery" rabbit in a blog at a
later date.) :)
In Spider Web Fowler
proves her gift of multitasking by having three "mysteries" going on at
one time. The biggest mystery includes a "cop killer."
IF
you are a reader that is very particular about preciseness and
believability in your mysteries, Fowler's books may not be for you! San
Celina is a small to medium size community and LOT's of crime! - but I
like them and have suggested her books to many friends. Her books
remind me of Agatha Christie books. When asked who my favorite author is
- which we all know is a stupid question because how can I have only
one favorite author? - in my "list" of favorite authors, Earlene
Fowler is at the top of my mystery genre list! Right along with Agatha
Christie, Lilian Jackson Braun, Rita May Brown, Sue Grafton, Janet
Evanovich and I could go on and on! and on......
If you are a cozy mysteries fan - check out Earlene Fowler.
