The year is 1937 when two brothers are forced to leave their
home in Germany. They arrive in New York City with only a
white Lipizzan stallion and a stolen Friedrich painting.
What happens next affects three generations of the Maseman
family as they become torn apart by greed, war, and revenge.
Years later, Emma Maseman discovers the harsh truth about
her family when she is investigated for the theft of Koenig's
Wonder, a Kentucky Derby winning Thoroughbred.
As the mysteries unravel, Koenig's Wonder races
toward the finish line in brilliant and thoroughly engrossing
fashion.

“Koenig's
Wonder, McMinnville author Linda Kuhlmann's first
published novel, is an ambitious weaving of romance, intrigue
and suspense.”
—Mary Rash, Friends of the McMinnville Library
An
enthralling mystery, and a great love story too!,August 20, 2006
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 redemption 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!
—K.R. Lewis, author of Little Blue Whales

A
good read!, December 31, 2004
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!

I
thoroughly enjoyed Linda Kuhlmann's first book!,
November 22, 2004
A
‘Can't put it down’ kind of 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.
