Cozy Mystery that Weaves a Great Tale
Not done reading, but thoroughly enjoying. Great set up, setting, and characters. The mystery is compelling and potential motives abound. If you loved the Hendrik Groen books, you'll especially love this. Definitely in the "cozy" mystery genre.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
