The Least of These Kindle Edition

Nurse practitioner Carley Rae Jantzen blows the whistle on Philadelphia physician Dr. Harrison Nichols for Medicare fraud. While waiting for the FBI to complete its investigation, she must work side by side with Dr. Nichols—without letting on what she knows or what she’s done.





So, when Carley receives an invitation to become a live-in assistant for Geneva Kellerman—a great-aunt she didn’t even know she had—she jumps at the chance to run off and hide in Andover, Maine, population 826.





Great-aunt Geneva soon learns that receiving help is not as easy as giving it. And Carley discovers the “assistance” her great-aunt had in mind has nothing to do with nursing but all to do with passing down a legacy of caring for the least of these.

This latest novel by James is a real treat. The characters were unique and fun - I wished the brothers lived in my neighborhood - they were a crack up. Loved, loved, loved this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect pairing: Relaxing and memorable
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2023

I read this novel over the holidays, to relax. I was seeking a light and lovely rare distraction from work and stress. The book started well, with an intriguing concept. Then it got better. And better. After approx 140 pages, I didn’t want to put it down. With many books, you have to wait and wait for the ending. And then, authors rarely give readers like me enough time —and enough words— to soak in the satisfaction of a plot resolved. Not so this book. Plots and subplots were revealed along the way, and well before the ending. I loved that. It was a relaxing read, and then at the end came something totally unexpected and amazing… an additional plot line I hadn’t realized existed, and one so wonderful, it has stayed with me for three days. It’s hard to imagine this author had the sheer discipline to under-promise on the book cover and info page. WOW. If you buy the book, read it to the end, and DO NOT skip to the end. You’ll get all the relaxation you seek, AND a powerful punch you were not expecting. Sweet satisfaction that will stay with you. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clarice’new novel is another winner!
Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2022

All of Clarice G. James’s novels are excellent but I have to say that her latest, “The Least of These” is my favorite. A close second, FOR ME, is her first, “Party of One.”
“The Least of These” is NOT an old woman’s novel but I want to give Clarice a WOW & THANK YOU for a book that hooked me, a very old lady, from the start. The story is NOT about OLD people… 85 is OLD. The age of Clarice’s characters are young adults and middle aged but the story is ageless, her people are real, and the plot is fresh, up to date, and intriguing. She also weaves the story of her characters in a fun and unique way. I promise: whether you are very young, still kinda young, heading into middle age or all the way to really old like me, you will find “The Least of These” a fun read and a can’t-put-it-down page turner. !!!!!
Clarice, P. S. Please let us have a sequel (pretty quickly) to Carley’s adventures!!!!

I am an avid reader...but not fiction. It takes a lot to draw me in so I usually leave the book unfinished after a chapter or two. Not so with this book! I loved every minute of it, and literally spent a whole day moving from my yard to my couch, back to my yard with this book in hand. I am only sorry that it ended. A sequel please? The author’s characters are tangible and alive, so much so I woke up thinking about them. A story with humor, intrigue, romance (refreshingly clean but still very real) and a plot twist at the end to keep you hanging! Well done!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mystery laced with memorable endearing characters set in a small Town in Maine.

Clarice James has crafted another story full of mystery, intrigue , fun and quirky characters. I laughed, I cried and I kept reading this book until I came to the surprise ending in one sitting! The mysteries kept me reading, the characters made the read enjoyable. The authors’ excellent descriptions made me feel like I was there and her characters are people I want to meet and know. I want to find the Liars Table and have some coffee and pie. I’m glad I live close enough to Maine that I can get to the lawn mower races at the Olde Home Days in August. Can’t wait for the next book.

Another one of her books that did not take time to read because I could not put it down. I am not one for words but I must say I truly enjoyed reading this book. The author kept my attention through the whole book . If you area thinking of getting this one, don't hesitate I know you will love it as I did. My only regret is that I finished it and now I have nothing to read. I will have to wait for her next book.

Clarice James has a descriptive writing style that is fun, and her wide swath of characters are endearing. A clever and surprising storyline made for a delightful read. Some say it's a quick read, but I didnt hurry through. I'll miss reading about small town life in rural Maine. Simple abundance and giving hearts.
