Barbara,
I haven't read Laura Childs in a while, so we'll see if someone else will offer their opinion of her books. I just ordered three more books from the library, but they are in the hardboiled genre. I'm writing a couple of articles about that type of mystery and thought I would revisit several of the authors.
The list continues to grow...
Would anyone like to respond to Barbara's question? What do you enjoy about Laura Childs mysteries?
