The Refuge

The Refuge by Ann H. Gabhart My rating: 5 of 5 stars I’m a huge fan of Ann Gabhart’s Shaker books. I’ve liked them all. This one, however, might be my favorite.

Gabhart My rating: 5 of 5 stars Another charming tale from Hidden Springs with all the characters we’ve learned to love from Murder at the Courthouse and Murder Comes by Mail.
