Suspenseful, Interesting read. Keeps you intrigued throughout the book. A quick read - hard to put down!

From back cover:

Who was the murder victim? Why was he in Aunt Flower's kitchen? Who killed him? And, why were so many elderly women dying in Carolynn's small town even though they had Vital Call?
Like Miss Marple, and Jessica Fletcher (of "Murder She Wrote"), Carolynn Burgess uses her uncanny intuition and logic to solve the crime. At the same time, she is forced to deal with personal issues arising from her marriage, career and family.
* What is the personal secret that haunts Carolynn?
* How can she balance the demands of her work and family?
* What caused the breakdown in communication between her and her husband?

For a few fleeting seconds a window had opened and revealed the unthinkable: there was intelligent life on the Rock, and it had communicated with him . . . Whatever else Evan did with his life, whatever little meaning it had possessed until now, he knew his destiny was to search for the source of that brightness until he found it.

On a quiet coastal night, artist Ewan Jones sees a brilliant emerald-green sphere fall from the heights of the forbidding mountain called the Rock. At that moment his perception of the world is changed, and he begins a search for the source of the luminous object that has stirred his innermost longings.

But Ewan's quest does not sit well with the society he lives in. Most believe the Rock is not only a barren, inhospitable place, but a barrier that prevents the floating artists' colony from reaching their full potential.

When Ewan questions those beliefs, he discovers opposition from all quarters. From the ridicule of fellow artists to the malevolent entity known as the Haunter, he battles forces that would prevent him from finding the truth. But Ewan's inner fears and doubts could prove the greatest obstacle of all. As he follows his obsession, can Ewan find the fulfillment he so desperately seeks? And does he have the courage to answer the challenge of the Rock itself?

The elegantly written story of a spiritual quest is allegory at its best and most moving.

Interesting book, not as good as the others in this series. Doesn't "flow" as well as I like in a novel. Not her best, but a good read.

Excellent study. The video with the study is very compelling, heart-felt and real! One of my favorite group studies. Also great for individual study as well!
