Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
The fifth volume in the "Daybreak Mysteries" series (e.g., Vow of Silence, Tyndale, 1996) again features blind Christian songwriter Daniel Kaine and his wife, Jennifer. The Kaines have arrived in Derry Ridge, Kentucky, to participate in the Heritage Arts Festival. Their host, Mitch Donovan, has personal problems to deal with along with his professional duties, i.e., his good friend, a middle-aged amnesia victim named Abby, has become the victim of a mysterious stalker. In addition, Mitch's childhood sweetheart, Gwynevere, or Freddi, decided to pursue a writing career rather than settle down in Kentucky. Now a celebrity, Freddi has discovered that money and fame have given her nothing but ulcers. As the week proceeds, Abby's stalker becomes more and more violent. Hoff again offers smoothly written and enjoyable suspense fiction that should prove popular for most libraries.

More About the Author
BJ Hoff's writing is known for her historical settings, her unforgettable characters, and her lyrical prose. She is the bestselling author of numerous historical fiction series, including the Riverhaven Years, the Mountain Song Legacy, the Song of Erin saga, the American Anthem series, and An Emerald Ballad series.
Her five-volume Emerald Ballad series was the first major work of fiction to bring the Irish immigration experience to the CBA marketplace-and the work that first brought BJ an international reading audience.
Her readers know they can expect to meet some memorable people in her novels and also know that many of those people will be immigrants-Irish immigrants particularly but not exclusively.
BJ admits to a passion for "building worlds." Whether her characters move about in small country towns or metropolitan areas, reside in Amish settlements, secluded mansions, or coal company houses, she creates communities where people can form relationships, raise families, pursue their faith, and experience the mountains and valleys of life.
She's intent on making her historical novels relevant to the present by developing characters and settings that, while staying true to the history and culture of their times, reflect many of the spiritual trials and social problems faced by contemporary readers. Her novels are meant to be "stories that build a bridge from the past to the present."
Her literary awards include the Christianity Today's Critics Choice Book Award for fiction; a Gold Medallion Award finalist; and a number of Excellence in Media Silver Angel awards. Her books have been translated into many foreign languages, and she frequently hears from her international readers in countries such as Ireland, England, Norway, and Germany.
A former church music director and music teacher, BJ is a member of the Authors Guild, the Irish American Cultural Institute, and the Appalachian Writers Association.
She writes from her home in a small town in east central Ohio. She and her husband share a love of music, books, and time spent with their family: two married daughters, three lively young grandsons, a loopy Golden Retriever, and a cunning, incorrigible but lovable cat.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A great read for mystery fans,
By Beverly "bevreader" (Mississippi) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dark River Legacy (Daybreak Mysteries #5) (Paperback)
All of B. J. Hoff's Daybreak mysteries are great reading. Dark River Legacy is no exception. Once again, Daniel and Jennifer are thrown in a situation of intrigue and suspense when they visit their friend Mitch in Kentucky. Mitch's friends include a mysterious elderly lady who appears in town with no past and a beautiful writer who Mitch knew in his childhood. All of these characters entwined with an evil killer and a threatening flood make for a great read! Seeing the power of the Lord bring everyone through in the end was a great climax to the book. If you like mysteries and other Christian mystery writers like Terri Blackstock or Jane Peart, you will enjoy this book and all of her mysteries in this series.
