Reviewer: GrannyReads from Anchorage, AK
Not quite as good as J. K. Rowntree's earlier work, but still well above average. I would read the next one.

Reviewer: A reader from Missoula, MT
I bought this on a whim and ended up recommending it to everyone at work. J. K. Rowntree has a real gift for making you care about every page.
