“This engaging mystery set in WWII Ohio has everything I like… colorful characters, a suspenseful mystery, and a tricky plot full of twist and turns. The creative touchstone in this work are the diary entries that begin each chapter, providing an emotional ballast for the action. This is a must read for mystery fans!”
