As usual Ursula Curtiss does her magic charm. I was immediately enthralled by the events of the story she created. How simple it all seemed. All she had to do was deliver a birthday gift to her partner's sister. What harm could there be in that! Unfortunately, what she is led into is murder and mysterious neighbors who are not what they seem. Mrs. Curtiss really knows how to create a mystery that hooks me immediately. Lydia Peel innocently enters into a web of intrigue that endangers her life and confuses her idea of love. It is well worth your time to read. Mrs. Curtiss has done it again.
