Escape to the charming town of Copper Mill, Tennessee. Nestled in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, Copper Mill is a place of tradition and tranquility, where neighbors work together and life moves at a slower pace. But when Kate Hanlon and her husband Paul, the new pastor of Faith Briar Church, move in, they quickly find out that small town life is anything but boring. The mysteries that Kate discovers in Copper Mill are puzzling, but she always uses her quick, curious mind and the help of her friends to figure out the answer. Come see how faith can solve life's mysteries in Mystery and the Minister's Wife series.----When Kate Hanlon and Paul Hanlon leave their home in San Antonio to take over the pastorate of Faith Briar Church, they are excited about embracing the small town way of life, but when they arrive in Copper Mill to see their new church in flames, it quickly becomes clear that nothing is as it seems. And when evidence shows that the fire is not an accident, Kate knows she has to discover who is behind it. As she investigates, she makes friends-and a few enemies-in town, and threatening phone calls, mysterious packages, and a life and death chase only make her more certain that she is on the right path.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Very enjoyable cozy mystery,
By
This review is from: Through the Fire (Mystery and the Minister's Wife Series #1) (Paperback)
"Through the Fire" is a fun and charming cozy mystery. I liked that the mystery, for once, didn't involve a dead body.
The characters were entertaining and good humored. Kate and her friends weren't unusually clever, but they definitely were determined! The pacing was very good, and I loved how the author depicted small-town life. It reminded me of my little town. :) There was a lot of Christian stuff (Bible study, prayer, God talk, etc.) in this book, but it wasn't preachy. I liked that Kate and Paul had a close relationship with God that was much like mine. A few very minor nit-picks: The author's notion of what's involved in visiting someone in jail (even in a small town) was very inaccurate. Also, Ms. Noble never did actually explain how someone could send Kate an e-mail with no "From" or origin information. (To my knowledge, that isn't possible, but I admit I could be wrong.) Also, the bell went through a fire so intense that it burned the building to the ground and then the bell dropped the distance of the bell tower. I'm pretty certain the bell's structural integrity would be damaged and, at the very least, it wouldn't maintain the same tone as before the fire. I'll admit it made for a poetic ending, though. There was no bad language or sex. Overall, I'd recommend this novel as enjoyable, clean reading. Reviewed by Debbie from Genre Reviews (genrereviews. blogspot. com)

Good series,
This review is from: Through the Fire (Mystery and the Minister's Wife Series #1) (Paperback)
I just read Through the Fire by Diane Noble which is the first in the Mystery and the Minister's Wife series. The book was entertaining and I enjoyed the interaction among the church members with the pastor's wife and of course the pastor. This was not a highly intense mystery, so don't buy the series if you are looking for high drama. Just a soft mystery and easy read. Good addition to a larger collection with the church library.
5.0 out of 5 stars
