The O'Malley Family Series
by Dee Henderson

The review this month is for the mystery buffs. "The O'Malley Family Series" by Dee Henderson is exciting. The O'Malley family is loyal and always there for each other. There are five of them, none related by blood. Each member is an orphan with a tragic childhood. They all ended up at an orphanage in Chicago. A desperate need to belong to a family bound them together.


So far there are three books in the series. Each book features one of the family. First read Danger in the Shadows. It is not in the series but does introduce an important character in the series, so I recommend reading it first.


Then read The Negotiator. Kate O'Malley is a hostage negotiator and is called on in some dangerous situations.

The next book is The Guardian and features Marcus O'Malley, the oldest of the group. He feels responsible for the rest of them and has been their guardian for twenty years. He is a U.S. Marshall. He lost his faith in God and prayer while still a little boy. See how he struggles with his faith.

Lisa O'Malley is The Truth Seeker in the last book I recommend this month. She is a forensic pathologist examining evidence in possible criminal cases. Her childhood was emtoionally devastating. She doesn't let God in her life, even in conversation. She understands death and darkness. She is about to discover love and the resurrection.
