See, I not be nice to kitties, no sur, dey don't bewongs in de house, or near my yard.
I chase dem, and ifn I catched dem, they go bye bye.
Well, finwey, mom lets me sniffered dem.
I growl, dey run, and mom say 
'Bad Dog'.
I onwe gots to sniffer dem when mom was holdin 
and den from a distance.
Here I be, watchin from oder side of gate, 
and dat yeller thang be stickin him paw at me.
Finwey one da, I sniffered de yeller thang, 
and he didn't run.  He bit my tail, and 
you see my tongue sticked out at him.
Dis wus about a week, den one day,

came by and slappered me. 
De chase be on, mom hollered Bad dog, again.
Da yeller thang, he be quite friendly now
and slips up and sleepz ons my bwankey, wid me.
Ghostey hasn't gotten that friendly yet, but doens't runs aways, when I sniff.

THE ADVENT OF MURDER by Martha Ockley

The Advent of Murder
a Faith Morgan Mystery
By Martha Ockley

Faith Morgan is a former policewoman, who is now a Vicar of Little Worthy, but any time a murder happens nearby, she manages to get involved..  Even when she tries to stay out of the investigation, it seems it draws her in.

I enjoyed this book, it is well written, and no, I couldn't figure out who had killed the young man, who was found in the river. I can usually figure out the murderer before the end of a boos, so this was a good thing for me.   I did have a bit of an issue staying focused during about 30 pages, up to about page 115, but then the story picked up again, and I found myself drawn into the tale.  This goes to prove that even if a book is a bit of a wade through at times, it is worth taking the time to keep reading, to make sure you aren't missing something really good.  

I was given a copy of this book by Kregel publications, to read and review.  No other compensation was given.  I'm not required to give a positive review, and all opinions given here are my own.
