    This review was written for Echoes of Mercy.
    I've read--and enjoyed--ALL of Kim Vogel Sawyer's books, but I must say that in my humble opinion ECHOES OF MERCY is her best book yet. I truly felt transported back to the early 1900s, standing in a thriving chocolate factory observing the people around me. This story had the perfect blend of action, romance, mystery, and heart-tugging scenes to keep me reading---AND enjoying every minute of it! HIGHLY recommended!!

    What a lovely book. I had the great honor to read an advance copy of this book. Thank you Kim!!

    The book centers around Caroline Lang. She is an investigator for the Labor Commission. She is sent to work at Dinsmore's World-Famous Chocolate Factory. To find out what truly happened with an accident surrounding another investigators death and for the underage child workers. 30% of the workers are children ages 11-15. Caroline wants to change those laws. But soon finds out there are those that stand in the way of her purpose.

    We now have Oliver Dinsmore who is also undercover. Before he takes over the factory he wanted to work from the inside to find better ways to run the plant. So he goes in under the name of Ollie Moore. He soon meets up with Carrie Lang and falls for her. But he has no idea what she is hiding and her true identity. They are both faced with lying to each other about their backgrounds. Will they get past the lies and make a life for themselves?

    Then we have Gordon Hightower. The factory's manager, Hiring Agent, and Accountant. He is a brute of a man, who uses his status in the company to advantage. He mistreats the employees and even is accused of touching the girls and stealing kisses. No one says a thing for fear of being fired. What else is Gordon doing behind closed doors?

    Carrie also came to love 3 rascals, Letta, Lank, and Lesley. Who also have a big part of the story. These 3 children are something special and you will soon start to love them too. Another great character is Keshia the owner of a diner. She has great food and even greater heart. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I have.

    I was given the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book by the author.

    1904 Kansas - Caroline Lang is working undercover as an investigator for the Labor Commission at Dinsmore's World Famous Chocolate Factory. Sent officially to investigate the large number of underage workers at the factory, and unofficially to look into the recent death of a fellow investigator.

    Oliver Dinsmore, aka Ollie Moore, is involved in some undercover work of his own. Posing as a janitor he is trying to learn all he can about his father's company Dinsmore's World Famous Chocolate Factory so he will be prepared to take over one day.

    Caroline and David are drawn to each other from the beginning. But, the two quickly realize that they disagree on one major point -- child labor. And something is going on at the factory that could push them even farther apart. Can they trust each other enough to work together, or are both of them in great danger?

    Kim Vogel Sawyer nailed it with this book. I was drawn in completely from page 1. The main characters are strong and believable and the supporting characters bring life to theme of hope from hopelessness - and the message is sincere not preachy.

    I have nothing bad to say about this book other than I did not want it to end. Maybe Mrs. Sawyer will write a sequel about some of the supporting characters. ;) hint!

    Neither Carrie Lang nor Ollie Moore are who they claim to be. Both work undercover in Dinsmore's World-Famous Chocolates Factory, but with different motivations. When three young children come into some hard times, can Carrie and Ollie band together to help them, despite their opposing points of view? Or will their façades crack, revealing more than they'd like to let on? Once the truth comes out, will they still be willing to trust each other?

    Author Kim Vogel Sawyer brings us yet another fabulous story. This one, Echoes of Mercy–releasing January 21, 2014–takes the reader deeper than any of the others I've read that she's written. It's hard to put what I mean into words, but all I can say is it edged out my previous favorite Kim Sawyer book, My Heart Remembers. It was tough to see that one beat–and it was close–but I figured it would happen eventually. How could it not with Kim being such a gifted writer?

    One thing I love about her books is there's always a message of hope, always something to learn. This time, the line that leapt out at me was something Caroline "Carrie" Lang thought in chapter four: "Comfort could lead to carelessness. Carelessness could jeopardize the investigation." I don't think we should get to comfortable in life, either. If it leads to carelessness, that wouldn't be too great, especially in serving God. I pray we may all strive to keep ourselves prepared for whatever opportunities the Lord sends our way.

    Thank you, Kim, for my complimentary copy to review. Truly it was a pleasure to read. Keep those fabulous stories coming!

    This review was written for Echoes of Mercy.
    Echoes of Mercy is set in 1904 Sinclair, Kansas. Investigator Caroline Lang (Carrie Lang) is sent to go undercover at the Dinsmore's World-Famous Chocolate Factory to investigate an accident. Oliver Dinsmore (Ollie Moore), the factory owner's son also goes undercover to find out the ways of the business. Caroline and Oliver become friends when they try to find a way to help three needy children. What will happen to these two when their secrets are revealed?

    I found this page turner to be interesting, entertaining and well written. I absolutely loved it! Kim Vogel Sawyer always write such unique stories. This one has got to be one of my favorites that she has written. I believe this will be one of my top picks for 2014. It is that good! Highly recommended. Would give it 10 stars if possible.
