One of Ours: A Joe Erikson Mystery


 Title: One of Ours: A Joe Erikson Mystery

Author: Lynn-Steven Johanson

One of Ours shows how dangerous the pursuit of truth can be, especially when powerful people have something to hide. Joe Erickson is faced with the murder of a fellow officer, someone he respected and trusted. That loss shapes the tone of the entire story and gives the investigation a strong emotional core.

The detailed investigative process is one of the book’s strongest points. Every interview and discovery feels important. The author allows the mystery to unfold naturally, which keeps readers thinking and guessing. It never feels rushed or unrealistic.

As the conspiracy begins to take shape, the stakes rise significantly. The involvement of city leadership adds seriousness to the case. Joe knows he is stepping into risky territory, yet he continues forward because the truth matters more than his own safety.

I found this book compelling and meaningful. It balances suspense and emotional depth beautifully. It is a reminder that justice often comes at a cost, and that cost makes the story even more powerful.

Rating: 5/5

Growing through the Storm

  🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Book: Growing through the Storm Author: Sheila Malsam Rating: 5/5 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Review: "Growing through the Storm" is one of the best books that I have read this year. This book teaches us to not give up too soon on God and our faith. It teaches us to hang tightly to God. This book made me believe that if things aren't happening our way in our life then they will happen in God's way when the time is right.  This book made me realize how stupid I was to not believe firmly in God. God is the answer to all our problems. He gives challenges and problems to us so that they can shape us and make us stronger. I appreciate Sheila's parents for the support they provided to her daughter. The support and love from loved ones is very important in troubled times. Even after two troubled marriages, her parents and children didn't give up on her. Loved ones should support their family members in times of need.  Sheila's sister made her realize how she wasn...

  🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Book: Angel Finally Found his Wings  Author: Ronald Hunter  Rating: 5/5 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Review: Charlie became the self-appointed guardian of the author. Everyone believed that he was taking good care of him. However, Ronnie was on the street from eight or nine in the morning until ten at night. Ronnie was doing all this for his mother.  To keep his mother out of the hospital, he was working for Charlie. Ronnie was afraid to upset him. He was doing business even though he felt guilty initially for doing it. Charlie has taught Ronnie to never leave a block without making a deal. Charlie kept him in business for a long time. Even though Ronnie was looking for an escape, he was stuck. I loved the ending of this story. This book has increased my faith in God and his grace. This story teaches us not to lose hope in difficult times as someone out there is having a more difficult life than us.  I am thankful to the author for sharing his story with everyone. A ...

  🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Book: An Aunt's Animal Alphabet Author: Hailey Kathleen Hall Rating: 5/5 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Review: "An Aunt's Animal Alphabet" is a lovely picture book in which the author has expressed her creativity to the fullest. I read this book with the kids in my house.  We came across many animals. We were happy to meet some of the animals below.  1 Jaguar - he has sharp teeth. 2 Mouse - who likes to eat cheese. 3 Owl - who's up all night and is not fond of light. 4 Yak - a big and hairy animal. Interesting facts about different animals piqued my interest in this book. I also recommended this book to my sister for my nephews. The illustrations are pretty and made me enjoy this book with the kids. If you want your child to know about the animals of the animal kingdom then this is the perfect book. Go with it without any second thoughts. The author has won my heart with her brilliant work in this book.  I will surely keep an eye on her future work too. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
