Reviews

[Terri M. LeBlanc]

Another fascinating detective mystery. It took a turn towards the end that I wasn't expecting and while I still enjoyed the end of the novel, I wish more hints would have been given about the dissatisfaction of Recoletta's citizens. It would have made the end of the story seem more plausible.
