Deadly Harvest

Fr. Reynolds, S.J. has done a wonderful job of presenting life in the Yakima Valley of Washington State. This mystery takes place in and around this valley known for its orchards and hop fields. I found the book engaging and interesting up until the very end. The style is always very factual and as if you were in the valley travelling to Moxee or driving on Yakima Avenue. I rarely read mysteries, but Fr. Reynolds has made me a "convert" to this genre. Each book is easily accessible, but each one is also very packed with information. If you want a good summer read, you could start by bringing this book along for your summer vacation.
