In the Land of Milk and Honey was a very good novel. I liked the writing, the characters, and the setting. The mystery was interesting and unusual (very unique method of killing as well as scary). This book grabbed my attention and held it. While I liked the mystery, I was able to solve it early in the book. I picked out the culprit as soon as the person was introduced. I did enjoy following the clues in the story to see if I was right. The book had a fast pace that suited the storyline. I give In the Land of Milk and Honey 4.5 out of 5 (I lowered a bit since I was able to solve it so early in the book). It has an especially sweet ending. I look forward to the next book in An Elizabeth Harris Novel series.

I received a complimentary copy of the novel in exchange for an honest evaluation. The comments and opinions expressed are strictly my own.
