She

Can the girl be a threat to someone in that household I had the pleasure of meeting Brenda Dow in person at the Word On The Street festival the year this book came out, and received a free personalized copy.
It has unfortunately been in my TBR pile since then, but stay at home orders and more time on my hands has greatly dwindled the pile.
I am actually really sad I did not read this before now! While the writing at first was a bit offputting, I soon got pulled into the delightful world of Ruth Bowen and the story of Alice Scorby.
Such a great book, and I am now looking to read more Ruth Bowen Regency Mysteries!! sitelink post a comment,
