Mara Purl's Where the Heart Lives, the second installment in the Milford-Haven Series, offers a delightful continuation of the narrative established in the series' first book. This novel primarily centers around the protagonist, Miranda Jones, as she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, both personally and as an artist.
Where the Heart Lives allows readers to delve deeper into the lives of the series' characters, fostering a sense of intimacy and connection, particularly with Miranda. Purl's narrative artfully navigates an ensemble of characters, enriching the story with diverse subplots like Delmar Johnson's investigation into Christine Christian's disappearance. These engaging narratives complement Miranda's journey and bring a dynamic contrast to the central focus of her character development.
Purl skillfully captures the essence of her characters' internal thoughts and observations and enriches the narrative throughout by integrating these engaging elements into the storytelling. I found Delmar Johnson's perspective as a cop adds a layer of intrigue, and I feel that weaving his observations directly into the narrative could offer an even more immersive experience for the reader. (The author does give Johnson's perspective in the related novella, What the Soul Suspects.)Ã? The novel's strength lies in its well-crafted narrative and the compelling subplot involving Deputy Johnson's investigation.
Where the Heart Lives is a charming and well-composed story, inviting readers to engage more deeply with its cast of relatable characters. The book succeeds in bringing together various elements of its characters' lives and offers readers a welcome addition to what promises to be a compelling series.
