The first time I heard of Deborah Garner was when I bought, read and reviewed Cranberry Bluff. When asked if I would like to read Three Silver Doves I immediately accepted. Three Silver Doves is actually part of a series, "A Paige MacKenzie Mystery. I have not yet read the others but this read well as a stand alone-even though it does make references to the others on occasion. It is also a quick read!!
Paige MacKenzie is a NYC reporter who often travels on assignment. Her editor asked that she go and check out a mineral springs resort in Tres Palomas, New Mexico-- Aqua Escantada. Deciding she could really use a vacation she extends her visit beyond that which it would take her to write an article on this resort.
It seems Paige is notorious for getting her nose where it doesn't belong and her long distance boyfriend (she is not sure he is her boyfriend) tells her to stay out of trouble. The trouble all starts when Paige is awoken by banging in the middle of the night and goes exploring---then she sees a "copy" of a beautiful piece of jewelry which a local artist really made---so much for staying out of trouble---
The secondary characters are great--and lend a lot to this novel. This is a clean, cozy mystery you will not want to miss!!
NEW BOOK RELEASE....When New York reporter Paige MacKenzie heads to Tres Palomas, New Mexico, the resort of Agua Encantada seems a perfect destination to combine work with pleasure. A quick article on the healing mineral springs and a few leisurely soaking sessions in the resort’s soothing waters promises well-deserved rest and relaxation.
Paige is immediately intrigued with a local artist's one-of-a-kind jewelry designs, as well as weekly gatherings to hear legends from an elderly storyteller. But when identical jewelry shows up on another guest and the storyteller goes missing, Paige's R&R is soon redefined as restlessness and risk. Curious and persistent by nature, Paige is convinced there's a connection. Enlisting the help of a flirtatious resort worker seems like a good idea until it begins to test her loyalty to her favorite cowboy, Jake Norris. Will an unexpected overnight trip to Tierra Roja Casino lead her to the answers she seeks, or are darker secrets lurking along the way?
