This was an enjoyable story to read. It is about a Sheriff, Carl Wall and a lady, Barbara Strong and her two kids she is raising. Her ex-husband is in jail and Sheriff Wall needs to keep an eye on her to make sure she isn't involved in any of her ex-husbands “jobs”. The scenarios with the Sheriff and Barbara’s 2 small children were just funny and adorable. He doesn't have a clue how to deal with them and some of the things he says and their reaction had me smiling and sometimes laughing out loud.

There is a lady, Mrs Hargrove, that shows up in each of these Dry Creek stories and I just love this lady and the way she works her magic in getting folks involved in church. She is a great lady and very discerning. Wish we had more ladies like her in churches everywhere; although I must say we are blessed to have a “Mrs. Hargrove” in our church, she just goes by a different name. This was just a light hearted romance, with a little bit of mystery and suspense mixed in. ( )
