The Psalm 23 Mysteries
review 1: "Lie Down In Green Pastures" by Debbie Viguie is the third book in the Psalms 23 mystery series.On Rabbi Jeremiah Silverman's day off he decides to drive to the synagogue and he's hit from behind by another car that was being driven by a dead man. Thus starts the third book about Jeremiah Silverman and Cindy Preston's new adventure in solving murder.This story is told from both Cindy and Jeremiah's point of view because each of them has separate experiences during this story. The plot line is tight with twists and turns that kept me turning the pages to see how their experiences would mesh into a cohesive story. I enjoyed learning more about Jeremiah's history/military training during his experience with the children in the woods. Cindy really grows in this story into ... moreunderstanding how to overcome her fears and to step out of her comfort zone. However, she did have a couple of TSTL moments which made he hesitate in my reading. I did continue and I am glad that I did. The secondary characters of Mark and Paul in the last portion of the story were so well drawn that my heart broke for both of them.The ending definitely sets the reader up for the next book to see what will happen next in Pine Springs because it ends with a new mystery to be solved.Like other reviewers, I did notice several editing/formatting issues with this Kindle version that I downloaded that were not in the first two books. They were distracting but not enough to spoil the story.
review 2: This third book in Debbie Viguie's TWENTY THIRD PSALM MYSTERIES, has added an element of real excitement to these continuing mysteries. Cindy, a church secretary, and Jeremiah, the rabbi of the neighboring synagogue , have already found themselves working together to solve a couple murders. Cindy has decided that a couple of recent "accidents" feel too much like murders. She's determined to get the police involved and stay out of things this time, but of course she's soon drawn into everything.Green Acres is a local campground on a large acreage that a couple of developers want to become involved in renewing. The plan in that they will buy the property, leave a large part for the community's use, and provide the funds for the much needed repairs to the camping sites. Everyone is not completely sold on the idea. But a couple of recent death causes Cindy to become suspicious that the developers really have completely different plans for the property. Everything comes to a shocking head after the youths from the church and the synagogue become stranded in a dangerous situation while at camp. All but 14 children, and Jeremiah, have gotten out safely, but someone is trying to kill these remaining campers so that the town will want to sell this "dangerous" property.Jeremiah, and his "Rabbi Rangers" go through extremely dangerous situations, working miraculously well together to survive, almost TOO organized for a group of kids. But the Biblical themes in this book make everything seem totally plausible, considering Jeremiah's mysterious past in the Israeli army. Cindy and Jeremiah's relationship takes a new turn too!! Debbie's writing is gaining strength with each book. Looking forward to reading the next two in this series!! less
