Book review: A Stillness of Chimes


Meg Moseley’s “A Stillness of Chimes” is an easy read and an interesting story. The cover says that it is “A Novel” which put me off a bit as most novels leave me wanting for an actual plot. However,“A Stillness of Chimes” is a mystery with a bit of romance. Also for a Christian novel it wasn’t heavy on the power of God fixes all dynamic that a lot of Christian books tend to fall into. As a pastor’s wife, I definitely believe in the power of God, however, I don’t get into the sappy everything-will-always-work-out premise.

The basic premise of the story is that Laura Gantt comes home to Prospect, Georgia, small town in north Georgia, following the death of her mother. While there, she finds that people have seen her father. Except that her father supposedly drowned twelve years before.

While the book was enjoyable and a quick read, I finished the book with questions. Subplots surrounding her best friend, Chloe, and the relationship between Laura and her mother didn’t seem to be fleshed out.

This won’t be a book that stays on my bookshelf to read again and again, but it is a book I would recommend to a friend who wants a light, easy, enjoyable read.

I received this book for free from WaterBrookMultnomah Publishing Group for this review through their Blogging for Books program.
