The second book in the Secret Sisters Mystery series was a quick, fun read. Ida Mae Babbitt finds herself depending on the Relief Society sisters after a couple of accidents leaves her with a broken ankle and wrist. She chafes at her inability to serve others and being forced to be the recipient of the service of others. In the meantime, Arlette's granddaughter, Eden, gets pulled into a murder mystery. Soon the whole ex-Relief Society Presidency gets pulled into an investigation of a care center where all is not as it seems. Tristi has written an interesting, crisp mystery that makes sense but is not too easily solved. Her humor shines through every page without becoming slapstick. The dynamics of the ladies gels even more in this sequel and I liked the romantic side stories. I also enjoy reading an LDS book where the religion is portrayed throught he characters lifestyle without any sermonizing. The book doesn't attempt to convert or cover doctrinal issues. But we get glimpses of what Mormonism is by who these ladies are. I look forward to the nest installment in this issue. How are you coming along on that, Tristi?
