Don't Keep Silent by Elizabeth Goddard


Don't Keep Silent by Elizabeth Goddard is the third and final book in the Uncommon Justice series. I have read all three books in the series and truly enjoyed my time in Wyoming with the McKade brothers. This book was full of action and hooked me from the first page as the book begins with a woman stuck in the woods surrounded by snow and danger, wondering if she will escape.

Liam McKade and Rae Burke team up in Don't Keep Silent to find Rae's missing sister-in-law, Zoey. They worked together once before but it didn't end well and Liam was less than thrilled to be working with Rae again. Still the two team up and work through the layers of both what happened in the past and the mystery they are currently trying to solve.

This book was a page turner from the beginning of Don't Keep Silent. It is a solid clean suspense novel with readers working to solve the mystery and trying to figure out how things will work out with Rae and Liam. I liked both characters as they seemed fairly easy to relate to. There are also other relationships within the book that were interesting and thought-provoking in relation to the title. I found the mystery to be interesting all the way through to the end. It was intriguing that Goddard used a fictitious book series as part of this plot--it is always fun to see books play a role within a book. There are some subtle spiritual messages within the book but mostly it is a clean, suspenseful read. I also like the cover art and it seems to go well with the series--a beautiful woman solving a mystery on a snowy mountain. At the end of Don't Keep Silent, readers also get a teasing glimpse in to her upcoming series, Rocky Mountain Courage.

I received this book courtesy of Baker Publishing Group, Revell Division and the author. All opinions in this review are my own.

  I think there has always been a lot of pressure on adults and children to "do" something big with their lives in the way of career. We do often ask children, What do you want to Do When you Grow up?" Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up? by Paula Faris changes the tone and the outlook for children with this book. I am not sure I can begin to tell you how much I love this book, but I will try. Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up? has beautiful bright illustrations. I also love that the illustrations are inclusive and show children of all colors, cultures and backgrounds. I think that background adds to the appeal of the book. This is a large children's book, measuring about 9 1/4 by 9 3/4 inches in size and 32 pages long. It is aimed at children ages four to eight but it really is a timeless message that could appeal to people of all ages.   Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up? features a girl named Lina who doesn't know what she wants to "be&quo
