Review of New Release- Peril in Dry Springs by Kristina Hall

 

Dry Springs hasn’t seen the last of trouble.

Ira Burke is surviving—just barely thanks to an injury that about stole his ability to hold down a job. The fact that the new saloon owner finds him a threat further complicates matters, as does the town matchmaker’s attempts to marry him off to the woman who helped him during the war.

Patience Ashbee arrives in Dry Springs to care for the younger sister she hasn’t spoken to in six years. What she doesn’t expect to find is an acquaintance from the war—or the dangers that follow her all too closely.

Because peril has once again come to Dry Springs.

From Kristina Hall, author of women's Christian fiction, comes a historical novel featuring high stakes, faith, humor, and a hint of romance.

My Review

Peril in Dry Springs is a wonderful story set in 1867. My favorite character is Ira Burke, a colonel in the war who had quite a reputation. The rest of the characters are well-developed, making the story come to life.

The town of Dry Springs had its share of trouble since Thurlow came to town. There are some twists and, times of suspense, even some budding romance to balance things out. The story is well-written, the characters appear real, and the town descriptions made me feel like I was there.

I received an ARC from the author; a positive review is not required. All opinions are my own.
