The Village Narcissist, by author Glenis Kellet first caught my eye before I even opened the book. The striking cover displays a black bell against a midnight blue background. (An omen of things to come?). At the top of the cover are the names of Kellet’s first two books: ‘Faith in Love’ and ‘Falsely Accused of the Unthinkable,’ the latter of the two I have already ordered; anticipating another thrilling reading experience. I was drawn to ‘The Village Narcissist’ from the first page and had quite the adventure, experiencing the story along with the villagers and the detectives who finally solved the mystery. The plot is fast paced and full of unforeseen surprises that challenge the reader to solve the mystery along with the detectives. From the first line ‘A shrill piercing scream vibrated through the still, silent air,’ you’ll be hooked and won’t be able to put the book down. The story begins in an idyllic English village, where images of unspoiled beauty, fresh air, hospitable, hard-working people, and a serene way of life come to mind. A place far removed from the big cities: a place where nothing bad ever happens. That all changed when a pompous, overbearing stranger moved into the village. But, the worst was yet to come when the villagers discover that their close-knit community is not immune to murder and treachery, and an element among them threatens to unravel the bonds of unity and trust that has been part of village life since time began. Be prepared for a reading experience like no other, as the author creates an elaborate rollercoaster of twists and turns; leaving you wanting more after each chapter. In the end, the villagers realized just how vulnerable they are to evil finding their quiet village, and their lives were forever changed by the events of a single day. Dare Rogers

Gripping Nail Biter of a Mystery! This is the second book that I’ve read by Author Glenis Kellet. The first book I read by her was The Village Narcissist. I was so intrigued by that book that I had to get my hands on another gem by this truly gifted writer. I just loved how Falsely Accused of the Unthinkable started out. From page one I was drawn into the story of a man seeking justice. At first it seemed all the odds were against him, but he never gave up hope that he would be able to right the wrongs he’d been put through, and in the end to have a normal life again. It was as if I was transported into the story, right next to the main character and walked beside him from beginning to end. I had no idea where the story began, or who the characters were—then, as I continued to read, the story began to materialize around me. Can you tell yet that I was hooked from the very first word? The characters and their interactions with one another frequently and unexpectedly grabbed my emotions; taking me on a journey of which I won’t soon forget. I found myself fearing for the character’s safety at times and rejoicing in their triumphs at others. Anyone who loves a great mystery will be hooked after the first page. Falsely Accused of the Unthinkable moves at a fast and gripping pace. Hold on to your seats and pray you don’t get a paper cut as you turn the pages. Dare Rogers
