Customer Reviews
Evocative yet well-paced
Written in a language that quite properly evokes an era without losing the 'snap' of a good whodunit, Ms. England has crafted a wonderful mini-tale that turns out to be the perfect traveling companion on a morning commute. Though briefly sketched, the characters are rounded out nicely and the heroine is brave and bright yet remains a lady.
