“When Mary's friend Henry calls her one spring afternoon, she assumes he's calling to invite her out for ice cream. Instead, he needs her sleuthing help. As a member of Grace Church's financial team, Henry was going over the church's accounting records and getting everything in order when he realized that fifty thousand dollars had gone missing!
Mary and Henry investigate who could have taken the money, even though neither one of them can believe someone from Grace Church would do such a thing. But who else except staff or a few parishioners had access to the funds? Mary clings to the hope that there is an explanation, but Henry only gets more upset the more they learn. Can they find the missing money while still showing grace toward whoever might be responsible?”

My personal Rating-
Despite one of the possible culprits of the missing money having my name, I did like this book. Particularly Mary and that there was a lot the faith content. I will say that Henry frustrated me a bit at times, but I could understand where he was coming from with the seriousness of the situation. I wasn’t positive on the culprit, so the ending had a good reveal.
See y’all on Friday with a new review!
