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.
