Book Title: The House at the End of the Moor Book Author: Michelle Griep What do you like about this book:
4.5 stars
"Isolation. Anonymity. A life no man can alter. That is all I seek."
The house at the end of the moor is the perfect place for Maggie Lee to live out her life in isolation, posing as a reclusive widow, and seeking no attention from the any of the local townspeople. It's just too dangerous to exist any other way. Her world shifts when a nearly dead man is discovered on the edge of the river; badly injured, and barely breathing. Seeking courage that she did not realize she still possessed, Maggie takes a chance, only to realize that she has brought terrible trouble to her door for the both of them.
"Is this the beginning of the end for me"?
It might not be the end for his beautiful rescuer, but it certainly might be the end of Oliver Ward if the bloodhound of Dartmoor prison finds him. The man is relentless and Oliver is innocent. . . . but he must find a way to prove it. His first goal is to get back on his feet, but when a closet hideaway in Morden Hall reveals an enigmatic clue to Oliver's pursuit of justice, everything changes.
Written with confidence and depth of character, "The End of the Moor" is everything that Michelle Griep's readers have come to expect; swirling mystery in and around heroes and heroines that take ones breath away. And of course, statements like this, "True justice starts with repentance. How can we ask God to show justice to the world while willfully nursing our own prejudices, selfishness, lusts, greed . . . . our own broken relationships"?
I received a copy of this book from the author and publisher. The opinions stated above are entirely my own.
