Written in Secret by Crystal Caudill

Written in Secret is the first book I have read by Crystal Caudill, and I look forward to reading more. Written in Secret was such a fun concept. I loved the historical mystery thriller. I was swept up in the story from the very beginning. I thoroughly enjoyed this and could not put it down. This book made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me think, and best of all it brought me back to Christ. The character development was great. I loved watching Lydia navigate the outcome of a serial killer using her works to copy as an almost plea to right the wrong of justice. Just because the court systems might fail, that doesn’t mean we should take matters into our own hands. We need to leave that in the hands of the courts and our creator. What a hard lesson for Lydia to learn. The storyline and setting were fantastic. I loved getting a look into story writing in the past while trying to solve who the serial killer was. I thoroughly enjoyed the journey. The blossoming romance was a slow build. I appreciated its low-spice content. Crystal Caudill did a fantastic job intertwining faith throughout the novel. *I received a complimentary copy from the author and voluntarily chose to review it. All opinions are my own.
