Carol Brennan Jenkins is a outstanding educator/author. She has helped me grasp the concept of my 3rd grade class's writing time. Throughout the book there is many writings from students. One student's writing caught me imparticular, Shane Forsyth. His writing is the main focus of the book and it was quite spectacular for a child of that age. If you asked me, I would tell you that you can probably expect Shane Forsyth to be the next Dean Koontz!

I like the way this book opened with a suspenseful sequence, giving you just enough information to hook you but not enough to give anything away. I didn't figure out how it was going to end until the end, but enjoyed the clues. The author develops each character , when the story permits. She does a good job with all ages of characters, from teenager to elderly. The description of the surrounding country side was perfect. I have visited Millbrook both this summer and last and found myself picturing some of the farms as the author described the locations of each scene. Buy this, read it, good night time reading , not too scarey for before bed but you might find yourself staying up later than you expected to. I found myself trying to read and eat lunch in a restaurant while reading this book and I did let my food get cold.

I just finished this book and immediately went to the computer to see what else she had written. I found this a delightful blend of murder,mystery,and the world of a public relations specialist. It kept me guessing right till the end and left me wanting another peek into the world of Liz Wareham, a slighly irreverent Jewish sleuth.
