There are some authors whom I really look forward to reading their newest books. Marilyn Meredith is one such author. Her Temple Crabtree mystery series is as good as it gets. Truly she is an artist with prose. She can tell a most riveting story that weaves in the best of intrigue, murder, mystery, folk lore, social and relationship issues. In her latest book of that series, "Dispel The Mist," she goes all out and leaves nothing wanting for the hungry fans of her books. It is top-notch creative writing with great characters and an original and mystically inspired plot that entertains big time!

I have loved every one of her books in this series but this one is special and the emotional feelings in this new book seem deeper and more heart felt - as if the author has lived parts of this story herself. I really got into the book and found myself completely absorbed. It is the kind of book that you want to take along on your vacation so you can get some uninterrupted time to sit quietly and digest every word on every page! This book is the highlight of a long series of great books from this author and is no doubt her best work today!

This book has been nominated for one of The American Authors Association's annual book awards for 2009. I would say that this is one of the 10 best mystery books I have read in the last two decades! It is a book worth your time reading! It is truly a FIVE STAR RATED BOOK!
