Great unconventional mytery. The setting is in the 1940's and the mystery, through the eyes of a young girl, unfolds wonderfully and keeps you guessing till the end.

This book had it all -- tragedy, humor, touching, and hopefulness. It taught so much about a different era and a different lifestyle. The characters, even the minor ones, were fleshed out very well, making you care about every one of them. Each member of our book club really liked this book, some putting it as the top read this year.
