MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes the nicest people in a book turn out to be villains and there are plenty of very nice people in Unintended Detour<\/em>. In fact they are all quite likeable and no one would ever suspect them. Or would they?<\/p>\n

And sometimes God fulfills the desires of the heart in very unexpected ways. While Chloe tries to fill her waiting hours while on a planned relaxation visit to the grand opening of her husband\u2019s family\u2019s new resort hotel, she jumps in and makes herself useful. Their visit is marred by multiple destructive events as well as a mysterious death and unexplained accidents. As Chloe works to put together an historical exhibit for the grand opening, she begins to find a few clues to an unsolved mystery from the mansion\u2019s past. With the lives of herself and others she loves in danger, Chloe presses on bravely.<\/p>\n

Although Unintended Detour is not quite as suspenseful as earlier books by this author, I thoroughly enjoyed following Chloe and Jack through their multiple adventures. The plot was tightly woven with hints dropped along the way but never enough to give anything away too soon. I really love being surprised by the true culprits and this book was full of surprises. Just when I thought everything had been revealed, up popped another suspect!<\/p>\n

Lovers of Mystery\/Suspense will definitely want to pick up a copy of Unintended Detour<\/em>. I for one cannot wait to read the next installment.<\/p>\n

A hundred-year-old secret might be the cause of and the key to solving a murder.<\/i><\/b><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n

Jack and Chloe Bartholomew just wanted a romantic second honeymoon in the beautiful Hudson River Valley\u00a0at the legendary hotel his family recently acquired.\u00a0However, instead of spa treatments and horseback rides through the snow, things are all wrong at\u00a0the\u00a0Stonehall Estate Resort.\u00a0<\/p>\n

First, she learns of months of unexplained mishaps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

And now murder.<\/div>\n
\n

It soon becomes clear someone wants the resort to fail and will stop at nothing to make that happen. The question is\u2026why?<\/p>\n

In an effort to help the family business, Chloe picks up where the hotel\u2019s last historical curator left off. But things quickly grow dangerous as her research uncovers truths hidden for decades\u2014clues related not only to the mysteries sparked by a young girl\u2019s death in 1931, but also those haunting the estate today. Soon Chloe is caught in a deadly race to expose the mansion\u2019s secrets before more innocents become victims of the malevolent force behind it all.<\/p>\n

Will Chloe bring the long-lost truth to light in time, or will she be the next to fall prey to the dark scheme, costing her everything, including her life?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

MORE FROM D.L. WOOD:
<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love stories. I\u2019ve always loved them. Stories carry you away, make you think, take you on suspense-filled rides and introduce you to characters that you love so much you want to meet them in real life. I\u2019m such a voracious reader that at the age of nine, my eye doctor told me if I didn\u2019t start reading with more light, I\u2019d need glasses way too early. Can you relate?<\/p>\n

I guess that\u2019s why I became a writer\u2014to be part of the amazing adventure that is storytelling.<\/p>\n

And let\u2019s face it. Right now, most of us wouldn\u2019t mind an amazing adventure.<\/p>\n

In my Unintended Series of suspense novels, you\u2019ll visit sizzling Caribbean beaches, Tennessee in golden autumn, and a snow-blanketed Hudson River Valley with a cup of hot cocoa in hand. You\u2019ll go with characters that are believable\u2014flawed, brave and hopeful\u2014in the face of danger. Of course, there\u2019s always romance in the mix and touches of faith, leaving you encouraged as well as entertained.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s what I\u2019d want to read, so I wrote it for you.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m beyond thrilled that the third book in the series is releasing. Frankly, I wanted to see what happened to Chloe, Jack, and Riley as much as my readers did!<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy reading Unintended Detour as much as I enjoyed writing it\u2014and that you have an amazing adventure along the way.<\/p>\n
