Elegy for Eddie
Leaving Everything Most Loved
“I’m enjoying this series, obviously, but what I’m particularly appreciating is the development of the characters, sometimes in ways you don’t expect at all. These people have become very real to me, and I’m cheering with all the adventures, not just the way Maisie solves the crime. The author creates a world that is very difficult to leave at the end of each book – I’m thankful I have a few more to go before I have to go cold turkey.” by Amazon Customer
