Reviewer: Cerise - February 24, 2013 Subject: A good tale, very well read An excellent mystery, great characters, well read. I thought I had it figured out... what a neat twist on my expectation. I didn't see it coming (though one important detail is not mentioned till near the end). Great for all that. I won't give it away... tempting though.... |
