About this ebook
A spiritual and riveting follow-up to Jacob's Ladder, Swing Low, Sweet Chariot is ultimately a story about redemption, and the chariots that carry each of us from hardship and darkness, to understanding.
When her husband left her for a younger woman, Rose Franklin bought a camper and started traveling. Eventually, she put down roots in Shady Grove, a campsite along the Mississippi River in West Memphis, Arkansas, where she has lived for almost two years now.
After helping to solve two murders in the area, Rose is now entangled in the murder of a young man from South Dakota—a murder which Chariot, a young woman at the Shady Grove campground, stands accused. As Rose tries to help her friend Chariot out from under the shadow of suspicion and solve the murder, she also struggles with unresolved maternal instincts, and her own difficult choices.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is the third mystery in the Shady Grove series set on the banks of the Mississippi River in West Memphis, Arkansas. Shady Grove is a camper park owned and operated by a husband and wife that are ex felons. In this story, and young woman that met Lucas and Rhonda, the owners of Shady Grove, finds herself in trouble and turns to them for help. Chariot Stevens has left South Dakota, after watching her boyfriend die. She runs to Arkansas, but the trouble follows her. While Rose and the various people from Shady Grove try to solve the puzzle, Charoit and Rose are kidnapped. The story moves quickly and brings in many new characters and enhances many of the prior citizens in Shady Grove. I feel that Lynn improves with each book in this series.
