Review – Shadows at the Window

January 8, 2011 By Michael

When Shadows at the Window opens, Lilly Johnson seems to have it all. She’s content in her job at a music store, enjoys teaching music lessons, is at home singing in the worship band at church, and is thrilled over a pending engagement to youth minister, Greg Whitten. Yes, everything in her current world is swimming along nicely. It’s Lilly’s past that threatens to pull her under and drown out her present.

Lilly is horribly ashamed of the things she’s done in the past and was happy to leave that life behind. A life she thought would remain hidden. But Lilly is in for a shocking surprise as her past rises up and threatens to smother the good with a blanket of ugliness. Not only smother Lilly, but take Greg down with her.

Greg is clueless about Lilly’s secrets and simply wants to marry her. When emails begin arriving with incriminating pictures of Lilly, her world collapses. She must find out who is sending these emails and discover what they hope to gain from exposing her. And if it is possible, reclaim the world she lived in before it was rocked to the core.

Shadows at the Window is an aptly titled story of past failures and future consequences. The subject of this story could be dark and heavy but Hall does a wonderful job of not letting that happen. She reminds us that our past is our past and once we accept Jesus as our savior, we are new creatures in Christ and the past cannot harm us. That no matter what we’ve done, we have a fresh beginning with God.

I’ve always thought one of Hall’s many writing strengths lies in her characters. She pens real people with struggles you and I might find in life. She tosses these characters into mysteries so compelling that you want to keep reading until the very end. Shadows at the Window is no exception to this and is a race to the end read. I urge you to buy your copy today so you too can see why Linda Hall is and remains one of my favorite authors.

Linda Hall has done it again – wrapped interesting, real, and flawed characters with a compelling mystery and a refreshing romance.
