Spring’s Storm by Lyn Cote
Northern Intrigue Series Book Four
Thea Glenheim lives a quiet life. Teaching piano lessons to children around Steadfast. When someone buys the camp property next to hers…life changes around the quiet…but gossipy town. And, something changes within Thea as well.
Peter Della always dreamed of a camp to help inner-city kids. Get them out of their environment for a short time. Show them some love. Who knew the town’s people would give him such grief when he buys the Double L?
Thea finds she was living in somewhat of a bubble—and that bubble has just popped. More importantly is she finds how the truth truly does set us free. She didn’t realize how much she believed to be true…that wasn’t. This is a wonderful series with great characters and mysteries.

I loved reading this book. I read through the night because it held my interest.
Spring’s Storm by Lyn Cote
Have read other works from this author and have enjoyed the reads.
This one starts out with Thea, she’s got a lot on her plate. She’s not only a lady who teaches others the piano in her house but she tends to her grandmother who’d suffered a stroke and is in local nursing center and she visits and brings treats often and she runs family fishing cabins during the summer.
On top of that Trace, the next door neighbor bought the boys camp and will be starting it up again. On top of that it’s a small town and everybody relies on info about him from her.
A student comes and her mother has a sick dog and drops the 2 year old twins off at her house also. Within a short time the whole house is in chaos and that’s when the new neighbor shows up. It gets worse over time.
Her step sister has run away, she meets up with her father and finds out truth about why they sold their house…some towns people don’t want anything to do with the camp and have sabotaged events and his truck and poisons her dog, never mind the whole kitchen and supplies.
What I really like about this book are the ways Trace encompasses the townsfolk and talks to them at church using passages from the bible to help. There are lots of secrets-their upbringing, religious training and how much community does matter. It’s so realistic with what’s going on in today’s world.
Love how community is there to help when it’s needed especially the auction and the support it gives to the boys camp. Love interjections of faith throughout this book and praying to the Lord.
Misunderstandings draw them apart and she realizes who is the culprit that is harming them all…love meaning of title in this book. Author bio and other works included at the end along with an excerpt from another book.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
