“It has been a long time since I have read a straight mystery, but I really enjoyed this so much.
The writing reminded me of Victoria Holt or Barbara Michaels that I use to read long ago and it really captured by interest.
Murder, mayhem, suspense, angst, and so many other feelings come alive in this story. It really kept me turning the pages and had me thinking there were several people that could have been the villain!”
