The PJ Sugar series has become my favorite series by Susan May Warren. Once again Susan has captured the everyday struggles with our faith that we all face. How many times have you found yourself in the same position as PJ, struggling within yourself with day to day decisions regarding following your own path or the path that God has chosen for you? I think that is one of the reasons why I have connect with the character’s in these books because they are true to life. Susan May Warren has a knack for creating amazing characters that stand out and stay with you, many of us can even pick out a few that we ourselves either went to high school with or live by. This book has truly inspired and uplifted me. It has also reminded me to “Draw with confidence to the throne of grace”. I cannot wait to tell people about this amazing book, and I will be looking forward to seeing what PJ Sugar get up to in the next book. Both books are the perfect mystery novels that will uplift, inspire and entertain the reader.


Favorite line that will stick with me:
“Every day the choices you make tell you who and what you are.”

Nothing but Trouble, A PJ Sugar Novel book 1

PJ Sugar knows three things for sure:
1) After traveling the country for ten years hoping to shake free from the trail of disaster that's become her life, she needs a fresh start.
2) The last person she wants to see when she heads home for her sister's wedding is Boone-her former flame and the reason she left town.
3) Her best friend's husband absolutely did not commit the first murder Kellogg, Minnesota, has seen in more than a decade.
What PJ doesn't know is that when she starts digging for evidence, she'll uncover much more than she bargained for-a deadly conspiracy, a knack for investigation, and maybe, just maybe, that fresh start she's been longing for.



My Thoughts

Everyone one has heard the old adage “you can’t go home again”, well PJ Sugar is about to test the saying. Returning home 10 years after being accused of a crime she didn’t commit, PJ wonders if she can rise from the ashes of her past and be noticed as the woman she’s become. Although trouble does seem to find her as she wonders if she will ever be able to shake the nickname nothing but trouble that her former flame and current boyfriend called her. When her best friends husband is accused of murder PJ delves into the world high crime as she begins her own investigation. All the while trying to prove that she has become a reliable and trust worthy daughter, sister, and friend.

Susan May Warren has created a believable cast of characters as well an amazing plot that not only offers mysteries and romance but spiritual guidance as well. PJ Sugar is a character that I believe anybody could relate to. You watch the character grow into her own confidence as she realizes that the life she had ten years ago is not the same as the one she is leading today. As she struggles with her faith, we are reminded that once you have been saved the old you is gone and a new you appears. I enjoyed that Susan May Warren has reinforced that statement as well as provided the comfort that we all falter, and that the Lord will be there to pick you up and dust you off. I never knew that I could receive such a blessing from reading a fictional mystery novel. Truly an amazing read that will lift your spirit and touch your heart.
