A nice little mystery - it will keep you guessing till the end.
First book I have read by this author and it was absolutely wonderful! Kept me guessing, you never knew whose side who was on, very interesting. I just ordered all of her books I was so impressed with this one!
I liked the intro that gave information about the "American Agatha Christie." I liked the detective and the feel of the time period. I had trouble keeping the many characters and all the details of who was where when straight in my mind. I would try another book by this author.
