Gold and Greed

Desert Intrigue is Book 4 in The Adventure of John and Julia Evans by Linda Weaver Clarke. This story was very intriguing and exciting. I really enjoy this series and I love the characters. In Desert Intrigue, John and Julia are visiting her brother, Kelly. I liked the mystery and sabotage of Kelly's ranch. I thought that who was behind the problems and why the ranch was being targeted was an excellent mystery. I am excited to see what the next adventure of John and Julia will be! Carolyn Kashner does such a fantastic performance in her narration. This cozy series is an exciting way to enjoy a terrific story.

Suspense and Mystery kept me entertained

I have listened to a few books by Linda Weaver Clark and I was just as entertained with Desert Intrigue as I was with the previous books. The narrator Carolyn Kashner did a good job with the voices, although I would prefer a man narrating the male voices, but that is just my preference.
 
I must say I was intrigued by Superstition Mountain, the lost Dutchman’s goldmine, and the great Thunder God. This was a a story filled with suspense and danger. It was also full of interesting history and some romance which I found enjoyable.

The intrigue and mystery had me riveted as I listened to this story. The writing was descriptive and I found myself imagining I was along for the ride with John and Julia in Mesa, Arizona.

I like John and Julia Evans, they are easy to relate to and their stories are entertaining and I loved following along with them as follow the clues.
 
I was given a copy of this audio book from the author and have voluntarily left this review.

Desert Intrigue

Unfortunately I did not get into this book until the last few chapters of the book where I felt all of the action was. I just felt that the other books in this series had more action.
Julia's brother Kelly owns a ranch in southern Arizona that is not doing good and he might have to sell. John, Julia and the twins, Faith and Charlene, head to Arizona to help. Meanwhile, Matthew and April stayed home to plan their wedding.
This book has plenty of humor, romance, passion and mystery. A book with a place called Superstition Mountain in it is going to be intriguing!

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

Suspense and mystery in the high desert

Desert Intrigue by Linda Weaver Clarke takes place near the Superstition Mountains of metro Phoenix. I love the legend that is told here. The imagery the author writes is very well done, the characters are endearing, and the adventure is delightful. Julia and John Evans are wife/husband in this clean story. Carolyn Kashner is wonderful in how she performs the book. I can easily hear who is speaking. This book is a standalone listen and part of a series. Its a treasure!
