The Christmas Stranger by Keith Donnelly
Series Name: Youngblood Story #2
Genre: Private Investigator Mystery
Release: November 22, 2021
Having dodged more than one bullet in his last bold adventure, Donald Youngblood does not find his next mystery wrapped in a big case, but rather in a mysterious stranger. Thanksgiving has recently passed and Christmas is fast approaching. A chance encounter with a very unusual young man at a local biker bar leads Youngblood on a road of discovery. Who is this stranger in town? He seems to be the source of all kinds of positive, unique and unexplainable occurrences in Mountain Center, but is he too good to be true? Youngblood is obsessed to find out.
From a small town in North Carolina to a return trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico, the facts that Youngblood uncovers about Mountain Center’s new visitor make less and less sense. But in uncovering the identify of this seemingly spirit filled man, Youngblood and his wife Mary discover the true meaning of Christmas and awaken a long-lost and forgotten faith.
Dru’s Short Musing:
This is one of my favorite series that should be more known. Mr. Donnelly continues to engage me in the telling of his latest story featuring Donald Youngblood. In this drama, a mystery is afoot, and nothing will deter Donald from finding out the truth which brings surprising results. A fast-paced and well-written narrative that kept me both intrigued and in suspense as I too wondered the mysteriousness of the person presenting himself in Mountain Center and the mystical messages put upon its residents. Mr. Donnelly did a wonderful job in creating this endearing tale of the holiday spirt that abounds throughout where the ending was both touching and uplifting.
