Road

s End is comprised entirely of senior citizens whose kids have
grown and left for greener pastures. Hugh, Melanie, and Bristol (one of
the few sane people in town) are faced with a crumbling church in
desperate need of repair and renovation, a dwindling congregation of
opinionated, ornery senior citizens, and a camel
—
yes, a camel. And if
that's not enough, the trio and the rest of the Road's End residents are
soon mired in danger and intrigue when a group of gun-toting drug
dealers arrive in town, bent on killing the church handyman, and
conspiring to ruin the doggonedest record-breaking blizzard the town
has ever seen.
Poor drug dealers.
About the Book: Strangest Town on Earth Pastor Hugh Foster: His heart was in the right place, even if, in hindsight, it appeared he ’d clearly taken leave of his senses. It’s December in Road’s End, Virginia, a tiny town long forgotten by anyone but its residents, where Colonel Hugh Foster and his wife, Melanie, have chosen to live— for better or worse. The jury’s still out on that one! Road’s End is comprised entirely of senior citizens whose kids have grown and left for greener pastures. Hugh, Melanie, and Bristol (one of the few sane people in town) are faced with a crumbling church in desperate need of repair and renovation, a dwindling congregation of opinionated, ornery senior citizens, and a camel—yes, a camel.

My Thoughts: What happens when a retired army chaplain and his wife move into a small dead-end town? Lots!
This is a humorous mystery and will have you in stitches. The characters are comical and interesting but come across very natural in their behavior.
The author certainly has a sense of humor. She makes the characters fun and witty. You can picture the characters as you read along, getting to know them well. The readers can certainly identify with the characters.
The gospel is woven into this story and the importance of not only forgiving others but forgiving ourselves. I enjoyed learning about Emma and getting to know her and her story.
Little country churches seem to be smaller and have older congregations today. Misstep points that out, even the lack of funding for repairs for the old church.
I will certainly be looking forward to seeing more from Roads End .
This book is an enjoyable novel that everyone will enjoy, young or old. I highly recommend this book.
