My Review

This is far from the first Sgt. Windflower mystery I've read, yet it has quickly become my new favorite. I liked how the book is kept clean without the gore that most mystery books have. I also like that I am able to recognize characters and that the author has developed them from book to book, yet each book can be read by itself without too much confusion!
