An Altar by the River - Winnebago County Mysteries Book 3 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was up 3/4 of the night reading this book - couldn't put it down. Christine Husom's "An Altar By the River" is another riveting look at what happens when true evil meets "good guy" detectives Corky Aleckson and Smoke Dawes. Husom's quirky characters and small town Minnesota setting are the perfect backdrop for another compelling mystery. Christine is an expert at weaving in details and clues in just the right doses to keep you wondering until the very last moment. Loved it!

Up in Smoke Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Coming from a mid-western family, I found this book to be a refreshing read and recommend it for anyone that was brought up around farming in the mid 20s to late 50s and also for those who have just heard about this early agriculture in America and are looking for a very fun and interesting read. This is a story of a family who still celebrates their heritage in a very real way!

If you've ever wondered what it was like to live in "the good old days," join this family reunion that is held every few years in Minnesota to harvest oats on the family farm. All the chores are accomplished in the same way they were done in the days of their grandparents and great grandparents.Up in Smoke is a children's book about one August reunion, as told through the eyes of a child. Fun games and farm animals keep the children busy, while their parents do the threshing with steam tractors. Everybody loves the wonderful farm-fresh food prepared for the 200 participants as well as the evening dances, where music is provided by the family band.Everyone is sad when it's time to pack up and leave. This book is a snapshot of a loving family get-together that creates memories for a lifetime. Authors Susan Kallander and Larry Boomgaarden share their memories of Americana. Susan is a New Englander of Swedish descent who recently married into Larry's Midwestern family. When he asked her to write and illustrate a story about his special family reunions held in Southern Minnesota, Susan agreed. She wanted to create a children's book with old-fashioned values. Her illustrations for the book are done in watercolor. A graduate of Massachusetts College of Art, her paintings are on display at The Socher Gallery in Connecticut and online at www.kallanderartgallery.com. The couple sold their home in Massachusetts and now live and travel the United States in a motor home.Publisher's website:Publisher's website: http://www.eloquentbooks.com/UpInSmoke.html
