Grits and Glory

I have all the Benrey's books - each one funnier and better than the last. These are CLEAN books with a hint of Christian values - no Bible thumpers, no graphic violence or embarassing scenes; just good, entertaining stories that you can recommend to everyone. This collection has perpetual readability - excellent addition to my library; you can read these over and over and still enjoy. I buy and read over 150 novels a year - and these are keepers!

Grits and Glory follows the path of the earlier "Glory" books, which means it's a good mystery, full of characters that you care about, and a wonderful setting - Glory, North Carolina. The authors feature a new character with each book, who has a connection to the characters we read about in earlier books. It makes for an interesting slant for the series, making you feel you're still with old friends but with a new character to root for and worry about. Gentle humor, scenes with excitement, mystery and sweet romance. What more could you ask for?

I first read the Benrey's book Dead as a Scone and loved it so much that I became an instant fan. This series of mysteries set on the town of Glory did not let me down. It was great to visit the town again and get a chance to see how all of the previous characters are doing. The story itself was interesting and did keep my interest throughout the book. I have fun guessing to see who did it. Also the theme of not letting your past dictate the future really spoke to me and I so hope the authors read this and know how much just reading this book has encouraged me. Please keep writing!
