Editorial Reviews

“Whispers of the Bayou is a gripping read. I devoured this book because it was so difficult to put it down. I don’t read a great deal of what is considered ‘Christian Fiction’ but Whispers of the Bayou isn’t heavy–handed as some books in that genre. The characters are so well done that I cared what happened to them. Miranda is a great heroine, her journey not just to Louisiana, but to really know herself makes for a wonderful story. The mystery kept me intrigued and the twists and turns to the solution were most interesting. The history and culture of the Cajun people that is used throughout the book is fascinating and I could tell how much effort the author put into her research. If you want a book that will grab you right from the first page and make you loathe any interruption while reading, then Whispers of the Bayou is the book for you. Brava Ms. Clark!”

"Delightfully entertaining, emotionally heart–rending, and immensely suspenseful, Mindy Starns Clark’s Whispers of the Bayou will transport you to the bayous of Louisiana and leave you breathless...There are so many surprising twists and turns in this story that there should be a warning on the cover that reading this book will cause loss of sleep because you will not be able to put it down. Bravo to Ms. Clark for an excellent read.”
