Summary: Not 100% romantic suspense
Review: Courtesy of Love Romances

After recovering from an injury caused by a moose in the woods, Molly Binfet decides to divorce her husband whom she's been married to for 26 years. She has two sons and works as a biological tech for the state. Then, she buys an old brothel and a cabin in an old mining town, Snowshoe, to live there and start a new life as a single and independent woman.

Ben Weigland is Molly's new neighbour and was accused of murdering an environmentalist twenty years ago, but there has never been enough evidence to put him in jail. She employs him to restore the brothel, as he is the only carpenter in Snowshoe. She soon finds Ben is a very capable, helpful, considerate person and a good cook. He always cooks and leaves dinner at Molly's cabin before he goes home after working on restoring the brothel.

Molly also asks his colleague, Gary, to help in the restoration project during weekends. One day when they are removing some boards in the brothel, Gary finds a hidden journal in the wall. The previous brothel owner, Lempi Shunk, wrote the journal in German. Molly is curious about the life of the madam and seeks someone to translate it. The brothel, The Blue Birdhouse, is almost finished and Ben helps Molly to move in. Then, something happens. Molly starts to have dreams of the madam and the story gets very interesting from there.

THE BLUEBIRD HOUSE is not a regular romance. It is written in first person and the heroine is a 51-year-old woman. She never knew what she was missing in her life until her run-in with the moose. Moving to Snowshoe has helped her to find new friendships, a new love and a new life. The story is fast-paced with mysteries and suspense. It may not be a 100% romantic suspense but it is surely a good book for readers who prefer something deeper and more realistic.
