Footprints in the Sand: A Piper Donovan Mystery (Book 3 in the Piper Donovan/Wedding Cake Mysteries) by Mary Jane Clark Audio Book:6 hrs. 18 min Hardback Book: 384 pages
This story was kind of a “meh” for me. It was o.k. not anything that required a lot of thought, I didn’t get attached to any of the characters in this one. There were interesting elements, a good mix of plot lines – location Sarasota, Florida, a wedding happening on the beach, cousins, bridesmaids, add in some Amish folks and lots of Amish proverbs stir that up add in several murders, a car wreck, an ex-cop, a lot of murders shake ‘em all up and pour out this story. Some good parts, some pretty predictable ones and the off surprise and cryptic message. Sorry, this one was just “meh” for me. Seems like it could have been better, more punch with all the intermingling clandestine happenings, but, no, it was just o.k. Passable. I would not brag on this one, but, if someone was committed to the series I suppose they would want to read this one or if they were a fan already of Mary Jane Clark, they would likely enjoy this one. Personally with all the potentially exciting elements I just felt there could have been more meat to this story and it ended up with no real bite. Even the ending was like sand through an hour glass, here then gone. No recommendation on this one unless the reader is just looking to kill some time or read something simple.
