| Kathy Harmon has just moved to Warner, N.C., and she’s lonely. Located on the Outer Banks, Warner is extremely small. Ashamed that she lives in the biggest house in town, she meets Martha Cunningham, who comes from the wrong side of town. These two opposites become best friends. When the owner of a local restaurant who had befriended Kathy is murdered, Kathy and Martha band together to discover who murdered Janine McCallum.
Told in the first person (Kathy Harmon), this story is quick and succinct; yet it paints a very vivid picture of the area and the subsequent action. What part does the "ugliest glasses on the planet" play? And which of the three people who have a pair killed Janine?
Perfect for pre-teen and up, V. B. Rosendahl is to be commended for a mystery worth reading. | | |
