| "There are so many surprises from beginning to end. I was totally caught unawares by the ending. There is mystery, intrigue, inspiration, and daily events. About the time you think you know who is causing the crime in Finny Fog, you are thrown off guard again. A few times I felt sure I knew and in the end it wasn't." -Review by Jane Squires Find the complete review online at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. |
