Good easy read. I really enjoyed the description of the scenery and other things about Norway. I'm not sure I would like all the food but I am glad these books include recipes! This was a different "Have Faith" book because it was about Pix Miller! I really enjoyed getting to know her better and the humor is really good and abundant on each page.
I picked this up when I needed an easy read, and that's pretty much all I got. Amusing but thin plot line and stock characters....I won't be seeking out any more Faith Fairchild mysteries or recommending them to my mystery loving friends.
Pix Miller & her Mom went to Norway to help family find her niece.
