19th-Century Colorado Territory ~ 21st Century Denver
Readers of westerns and uplifting Christian fiction will welcome Book 4 of the MYSTERIOUS WAYS series, a thrilling conclusion to the saga of Charlie Smith. Set in 1872 Colorado Territory, the first three books of the series followed the adventures of Charlie Smith as he came of age, sought - and sometimes fought for - his fortune, and learned who to trust and who not to trust. Now, THE CRIMSON RIVER fast forwards to 21st-Century Denver, with Charlie Smith's descendent as a main character, and with flashbacks to the late 19th Century. The plot involves a hunt for buried treasure based on clues found in Charlie's diary, passed down through the generations.
Beloved characters from the first three books, and their counterparts in the modern half of this tale, all struggle against greedy antagonists and their own conflicted motives. The reader is kept guessing with plot twists that provide suspense and intrigue as well as romance and inspiration. An enthralling final installment that reveals more of the Almighty's 'mysterious ways.'
Editorial Reviews:
"Donna Westover Gallup does her usual great job of telling a spellbinding tale. It is what I have come to expect from this great storyteller. ...The use of flashbacks was a marvelous way to tell the story. The author wasted no time getting right to the mysteries that kept me turning the pages. ' ~Jimmie Kepler on Goodreads
"Jake’s life isn’t exactly going as planned. He has lost everything, from his business to the love of his life. In the midst of struggling to recuperate his life, he gets an interesting proposition from a long lost relative involving treasure! ...What they discover is not what they expected and what they find along the way is even more valuable.... I loved the history in this novel and the back and forth between ancestor Charlie and current events." ~Lindsey for IE Mommy
