An enthralling mystery, and a great love story too!

In Koenig's Wonder, novelist Linda Kuhlmann has painted the reader's world on a canvas large enough and with words vibrant enough to bring to life pre-World War II Germany,the hallowed horse racing tracks of old Kentucky, and the soft green hills of Oregon in this tale of brotherly love, brotherly hate, greed, and redemtion which spans several generations of the immigrant Maseman family. A drugged and stolen Thoroughbred race horse, dark family secrets, and a failed, but never forgotten love between a man and a woman seperated by time, circumstance, and the pull of others all add up to one very entertaining, and enjoyable read. Definitely two thumbs up on this author's first time effort!
A good read!

This first novel by a local writer was enjoyed by the entire family. My wife stayed up two nights really late because she was entrapped by the characters. Linda did a great job. Hope to see more in the future!
A "can't put it down" kind of book.

I thoroughly enjoyed Linda Kuhlmann's first book! Her characterizations were incredible...I easily pictured the characters and clearly "sensed" their feelings and actions. Her captivating, suspenseful story, interlaced with a wonderful romantic love story, kept me eagerly reading on.... I look forward with much anticipation to her next book.
