It’s that time of year again! Time to share our most favorite reads out of several different categories. First up this year is our picks for mystery fiction.
1. Dead Sea Rising by Jerry Jenkins
The tension in this book really set the tone. We couldn’t put it down from the time that we picked it up. It’s hard to imagine follow up success after the Left Behind series, but Jenkins shows why he is still one of the top writers in his market.

2. Trial on Mount Koya by Susan Spann
You just can’t be a great mystery set in Japan 600 years ago. With great continuing character development between a Japanese Samurai and a Portuguese Priest, this series continues to make our top pick each year.
