I fell in love with her quirky and fun historical romances several years ago so a new Jen Turano book was all I needed to hear to get excited. Then I read the back cover blurb and really knew that I HAD to read it! Needless to say, now that I have read it I am anxiously awaiting the next book in the Finding Home series.
Finding Margo was different and yet so much the same; like finding favorite flowers in a different garden. I quickly discovered that Finding Margo wasn't quite sure what genre it wanted to be: part romantic comedy, part suspense, and part Amish. But as expected, Jen Turano handled the marriage of genres perfectly and seamlessly.
One of Jen Turano's trademarks is the addition of an animal, from giant dogs to pigs, and Finding Margo definitely had one of the funniest and quirkiest. Every seen she was in she totally stole the show. As a pet lover this addition is always one of my favorite parts in the stories.
I have loved every Jen Turano book that I've read and Finding Margo was no exception. It truly is a fun, funny, romantic, and exciting story with some wonderfully quirky characters and dastardly villains. If you love her historicals you definitely HAVE to read this one! It is a truly delightful and satisfying read!

OY! I loved this book !
...is how I promised Jen Turano I would start my review (if, of course, I DID love it), because she had commented that nothing good ever starts with "OY!" after a not-so-nice comment was posted on an unrelated review. And, I am happy to turn that around because I certainly did enjoy this modern mystery romance, filled with faith, animals, some Amish ways, and true-to-Jen comedy stylings.
I don't usually read modern fiction, but if Jen is writing it, I am reading it! This mystery about modern pop-star Margo Hartman had me guessing the entire time, particularly since the mystery goes back more than 20 years. Margo has bolted from her high-pressure life, via a quick dye job and a vintage mini-cooper to simply get away and see where the open road takes her. However, her adventure is cut short, when an unexpected guest joins her, and causes her to seek help in a nearby town primarily home to Amish and Mennonite families. I won't give the guest away, but she's a favorite! Seems Margo's adventure may be only just beginning.
Deputy Brock Moore has been tirelessly following up on a case that he has a personal connection to, when, a stranger shows up in town. Determined to figure her out, he sticks close and ultimately realizes she may need his protection. He's a really good man, who is too hard on himself, and a natural servant.
I really enjoyed how the various cultures blended in this story; simple country folk, crazy stage mom and Hollywood types, a "slightly famous" (-smile) pop-star, Amish and Mennonite people. Mrs. Hershberger is extremely clever and has a good heart, who helps the story in many ways.
Ch. 5 was a "holy crud!" moment that caught me completely off guard. Won't spoil it for you, but when that happens, well, that's good writing. Ch. 19 had a big reveal that brought me to tears. OY! My heart! There are times when you just want to slap those ultra-rich, have-no-clue characters. And then there are tender moments: "When he squeezed her hand, and then whispered a prayer, asking God to watch over her, everything she knew in her world shifted." (Ch. 19)
It is my great privilege to be included in Jen Turano's Influencer List and I received this copy for no compensation. My opinion is strictly my own, and I highly recommend this five-star book.
