“GREAT !! BOOK Lynda McDaniel can write. This is one fine read. READ THIS ONE.” —Wooley, Amazon Vine Voice Reviewer.
“FIVE STARS! Lynda McDaniel has that wonderfully appealing way of weaving a story, much in the manner of Fannie Flagg. The tale immediately drew me in, into the town, into the intriguing mystery, and into the people. A real treat to read and made me anticipate meeting the characters in yet another installment.” —Deb, Amazon Hall of Fame Top 100 Reviewer
“A LIFE FOR A LIFE IS ONE OF THE MOST SATISFYING BOOKS I’ve read this year. Everything about the book delighted me. A Life for a Life has also been compared to To Kill a Mockingbird. Both are character-driven and back a strong message of forgiveness, redemption and acceptance.” —Ana Manwaring, writer, creative writing instructor
“THE MOST SATISFYING MYSTERY I'VE READ IN AGES.” —Joan Nienhuis, book blogger
“GREAT PACING—I couldn't put it down. I highly recommend this book, but read A Life for a Life first, so you can truly appreciate all that Abit accomplishes in The Roads to Damascus.” —Malena, author and playwright
“THOROUGHLY ENJOYABLE AND INTRIGUING with descriptive powers and beautiful mountain scenery. Intense family and friend dynamics with character vulnerabilities and complex relationships that steal the reader’s heart and make this mystery a must-read.” —Pam Franklin, international bestselling author of My Five Sisters
“THE STORY HAS A WONDERFUL BALANCE OF DRAMA, MYSTERY, AND SUSPENSE that easily left me wanting more. What made the story that much more appealing is that it is more than a just a cozy mystery, as the author interweaves Della’s personal journey of self-discovery and sense of community that she finds along the way in the small Appalachian town.” —Kathleen Higgins-Anderson, Jersey Girl Book Reviews
“MARVELOUS READ! A compelling story told through the eyes and voice of two remarkable narrators [who] possess the same hopes and dreams for a new life. They describe their home life in such great detail that you feel like you have been transported to a small mountain town.” — Yvette Klobuchar, author of Brides Unveiled
“McDANIEL'S MYSTERY NOVEL DELIVERS A PAIR OF UNFORGETTABLE CRIME-SOLVING CHARACTERS. Using her keen knowledge of the charm (and less than charming features) of life in the North Carolina mountains, she lured me into her story and kept me there. I hope Della, Abit, and the gang will be back!” —Virginia McCullough, award-winning author of Amber Light and Greta’s Grace
