Oooh, this sounds great, Susan! Happy Blogiversary, and please include me in the drawing.
I love mysteries more than suspense--I don't like the stress! I'm reading Bonnie Calhoun's Cooking the Books right now, and it's a hilarious, well-written mystery.
I would love to have the chance to read one of his novels. Thanks for hosting this giveaway, Susan!
I like mystery better than suspense. Jeanette said it well.

Hi Karen -
Thanks for entering.

I'll admit I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to suspense. I love a good plot, but if it's too suspenseful, I've learned to read it only during the day. :)
Hi Sarah -
I love suspense, but often put it down when it gets too frightening. When my heart returns to a normal rate, I go back for more. :)
Blessings,
Susan

I love suspense!! Unfortunately I tend to get so wrapped up reading for what comes next, I am useless for anything else! Just as my husband ;D
Would love to read it!
See you soon dear friend.

Mystery or suspense? Is there a big difference? I never gave that a thought :) Well, you made me think today, thanks!
Hi Marja -
Yes, there's a difference. Mysteries are mostly the whodunit variety. Suspense keeps the adrenaline flowing until its almost unbearable.
Anyone have a different definition?
Blessings,
Susan :)
I love a good mystery with some suspense. No thrillers here though, I need to sleep! :O)
Hi Diane -
I'll occasionally read a thriller, but prefer mystery/suspense.
Blessings,
Susan :)
Hi, Susan:
I'm throwing my hat in the ring for this book. As to mysteries versus suspense, I tend to prefer the former. Suspense can make me anxious, but it provides all the more reason to snuggle up to my hubby after I'm done reading. :-)
Blessings.

Hi Janette Dolores - This book is action packed. Your hubby would also like it since the MC is a man.
Blessings,
Susan :)
Interesting comments, thanks everyone, thanks Susan!
Hi Marja -
Thanks for commenting. It's nice to see you in the blogosphere again.
Blessings,
Susan :)
I much prefer suspense to mystery/who dun it. I love that delicious tingling can't-put-it-down feeling when the author has really grabbed me with the characters and the fascinating circumstances.

Jerry Jenkins has such a fabulous imagination! What a great author he is.
Don't worry about adding me to the giveaway. The pile of books waiting to be read here is daunting already :)
Happy blog-o-birthday!
Hi Kathleen -
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Right now, I'm reading four books. :)
Blessings,

Hello, Susan! Thanks for stopping by my blog today and following me.
Hmm... I like mysteries because you are engaged in collecting clues and putting all the pieces together and then left wondering if your conclusion is correct - it makes for a good read!
I really like Jerry B. Jenkins's web presence. I haven't read any of his books, so I'll have to check this one out!
Thanks!
Hi Gabrielle - Thanks for becoming a Follower. Playing amateur sleuth is a fun part of reading whodunits.
Hi Alisa - I'll have to check out his website. I'm familiar with his work from the Left Behind series.
Blessings,
Susan :)
I like both. A good mystery with lots of action! Happy Blogoversary!
Hi Stephen -
You'd like the action in this book.
Blessings,
Susan :)
