Box set of the first three Anna Denning mysteries.

The Witch Tree: Anna Denning Mystery, Book 1

Just days before Christmas in the mountain town of Elk Park, Colorado, genealogist Anna Denning discovers a client's body. When she starts asking questions no one wants answered, she becomes the killer's next target. Still grieving the death of her husband, Anna must draw on her wounded faith to enter a world of Wicca and witchcraft - reminders of a past she buried long ago - and discover the secret of The Witch Tree.

The Witch Tree was a finalist for a 2011 Grace Award.

Sparrow House: Anna Denning Mystery, Book 2

When the owner of a mansion in the Colorado mountains hires Anna Denning to research his family tree, it's Anna's dream come true. A library brimming with old documents, an undiscovered family history - what more could a genealogist want?

Excited by the possibilities and fueled by a new love in her life, Anna, tenacious as ever, is undeterred by rumors that a ghost haunts the mansion. Until she uncovers records that suggest those rumors are more than idle talk.

The Sacrifice: Anna Denning Mystery, Book 3

It's nearly Halloween in Elk Park, Colorado, and one of the Elk Valley Historical Society's founding members, a retired history professor who wanted to hire genealogist, Anna Denning, to complete his secret research into the family trees of two other members, has been found dead - the victim of a brutal murder. When a friend of the victim pleads with Anna to complete the professor's work, Anna agrees. Her decision leads her into a disturbing world of lies, concealed identities, and the occult.

With courage and a hefty helping of stubborn resolve, and facing major changes in her personal life, Anna digs beneath the surface of the past to discover the dangerous secret behind a decades-old murder.

Pretty good!

I got this series because I'm a genealogist, so thought it would be fun. Wasn't really pleased with the way witchcraft was betrayed, but its obvious the author is Christian so I got over it. but it irks me none the less. The narrator was good, and the mysteries cozy and I listened to all 3 to get my money's worth. But dont think I will get anymore.

Murder and Geneology

I loved this collection of 3 great, somewhat spooky murder mystery stories about a genealogist whose contracts to build a family tree continually lead her into trouble while she searches for answers.
I like the characters, love the twisted plots and completely enjoyed the challenges the intricate mysteries provided.
If you like mysteries with a touch of paranormal, this series is for you.

Anna Denning Mystery series 1-3

Would you consider the audio edition of Anna Denning Mystery Series Box Set: Books 1-3 to be better than the print version?

I love the audio book, because i can listen while i am cleaning house, soaking in the tub, walking or any other thing i do that i can't read at the time... but i also love to just read the words. So it is better when you can't sit and read but still want to hear a great story.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I love Anna, i can relate to her because she is a genealogist, and i love genealogy. Karen's stories keep me interested the whole time, her ability to tell a mystery story is great.

Have you listened to any of Becky Doughty’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not listened to Becky before. But she did a wonderful job on these books. I love how she changes her tone for different characters, and her voice keeps me engaged and interested in the story.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I love how in each story Anna learns more about her own character, and i love how much she adores Jackson...

Any additional comments?

These are wonderful books, Karen has a true gift for bringing you into her world. I highly recommend these book, and the audio version is wonderful for those days when you just can't sit and read. :)

Kept me awake. I'm thankful.

I drive 70 miles to work every morning and was constantly in danger of dozing off. I started listening to this series and instantly became very interested in the characters and engrossed in the stories. It made the miles go by fast and made me much more alert. Awesome read or listen in this case.
