I received a free e-copy of this novel, When Innocence Falls, from the author, Donna Lanheady. Thank you!

I enjoyed this novel which is Book 1 in a series. It's my understanding that Book 2 will be out in the fall of 2014. Can't wait!

The characters were strong and likable. They were friendly, nice, and helpful to each other so quick friendships were formed. I would have like a little more background on some of them and perhaps that will come in the next book.

This is an interesting mystery surrounding an orphanage, the priests and nuns who run it, an accident that happened there many years ago, and a young journalist who wants to get to the bottom of the mystery. Makes for a fast read.

I love the setting in Colorado as I did in Ms. Lanheady's previous book, Whoever You Are. The settings make me want to visit there on a long vacation. And how refreshing it was to read a novel with no cursing or foul language. Keep up the great work! ( )
