Great read!!
5By MStuttsI enjoyed the story immensely and I thought it was very well written! Great mystery and the best of the series!Old fashioned style
3By Le QuébecoisThis is a great book for an elderly crowd. It has a slow plot and language suitable for someone's grandmother. It's a wholesome murder mystery so to speak.
