"Crystal Clear is a wonderful story that is woven together with a lot of suspense, mystery, with a bit of love and romance kneaded through like the dough in a fine pastry! You definitely will want this final book in the Memory Box Trilogy in your own home library. I loved it! Just when I thought Cindy had said it all, there was more to come in this lovely ending of her MBT series. Be sure to watch Cindy as she goes on to more super books that I know I will definitely read! The best of GOD’s blessings to you Cindy!"

"Wonderfully written as always, a few unexpected skillful twists, might I add. And a 'too die for ending', some pro detective legwork, and some action to get my adrenaline pumping... loved it! I've said it before and here it goes again: I cannot wait to turn the channel to the LMN network and see your trilogy: Chasing Memories, Shades of Blue and Crystal Clear all intertwined into a heartwarming, yet action packed movie. I'm impressed with your tenacity for your craft. You always aim for the moon and I'm sure you're going to land among the stars."

The third and final book of Cindy Bauer's entertaining Memory Box Trilogy, and I feel this is the most accomplished of the three. Cindy Bauer has really found her voice in this book. 'Crystal Clear' picks up from where 'Shades of Blue' left off, with little Annie asking for Susan's help. I couldn't help feeling almost sentimental as I started to read the book, meeting up again with the loveable characters from the first two books.
As the story progresses, we are taken on an exciting, nail-biting journey, wondering what is to become of Laura, Annie and Greg. Someone is out to get Annie, but who could have a grudge against this girl... and is it only Annie they are after? Is this stalker also hell-bent on destroying the whole family?
The book is full of suspenseful action and mystery. I found it an enthralling read, and I couldn't wait to find out what happened to all the characters.
The book nicely wraps up the trilogy, so that the reader is not left wondering about anything. It is a satisfying and wonderful ending to a very emotional journey.
I'd love to see this trilogy made into a film.
This is third and final book of Ms. Bauer's "Memory Box Trilogy", which included the first book Chasing Memories and Shades of Blue.
The first chapter draws in the reader. "The call came as a shock to Susan. She couldn't begin to grasp the reality that her next guest at the shelter would be Annie Thompson. Never had that possibility entered her mind."
As I began to read, the whole plot and story moved along nicely. I instantly recognized many of the characters from the first two books in the trilogy. Each person was like meeting an old friend.
As this suspenseful tale unfolded, I found myself wondering how the author would tie all three of the books together. The great thing was that the plot was not contrived and the story line had several nice surprises.
The tale has Annie Thompson returning home to start her own Veterinary Practice after graduating from college. Soon mysterious mishaps and even danger begins to happen to the young college graduate and her mother Laura along with her step-father Greg. The reader is lead on a journey of suspense laced with intrigue and a touch of romance, as Annie and her family try to figure out the mystery surrounding them.
Cindy Bauer has created a Christian thriller/romance sure to please even the most discerning readers in her book, Crystal Clear. The life-like characters and the nicely woven story, not to mention the imaginative book cover, create a book that I would recommend to others.
