Book Review of Larkspur Cove by Lisa Wingate



Larkspur Cove
Written by Lisa Wingate
Published by Bethany House
ISBN 978-0-7642-0821-8
Reviewed by Patricia Walker


This is an enjoyable book which may seem like a typical romance at first. But it surprises you with a mystery that becomes dangerous and suspenseful in the story. The main character, Andrea has a lot to deal with and since her faith was destroyed she is trying to do it all on her own.

Andrea has just moved to Moses Lake after a humiliating, life-changing divorce. Her faith is shattered, her new job is a struggle, her parents annoy and criticize her and her teenage son gives her attitude. She doesn’t think things could be much worse until the lake Game Warden brings home her son who was caught in the wrong place with the wrong crowd.


The Game Warden is also there to escape his past. But the story puts the two together as they try to solve the mystery of a little girl who appears to be abandoned to an unlikely person. The mystery expands to a suspenseful conclusion as both characters realize that they need to reclaim their faith and forgive themselves.

Larkspur Cove is a great story and I will be looking for more books to read by Lisa Wingate.

This book is reviewed by my mother Patricia Walker, and given by Bethany House in exchange for an honest review
