Just so so. But easy to read.
Done well
Decent little story
Interesting
Quick easy read. I liked it.
Enjoyed it but a little slow sometimes.
I liked it but not one of my favoites from this author. It was entertaining though.
Paints a cringe worthy impression of the South as ideal.
Becky is a great character! While reading the book I felt like I was her.
Enjoyed very much! Would like to read more in this genre by this author
Just okay
Somewhat fun to read. It has a sequel that I might read
Didn’t find there to be much to this book. Story never really developed into anything that really grabs the reader. I did appreciate the unique story line.
Not a detective story. A murder happens in the story. Main character as some sort of physic ability that is never really explained or used. The paranormal side of the story is never fleshed out and explained. Most of the story is about the main character and how she hates her cousin. This could have been very interesting and came out incomplete and disappointing. I do not recommend this book if you have to pay for it.
Ended very suddenly. Enjoyed the period vocabulary.
Lack of details on the main points of the story. Disappointing read.
Entertaining and an easy read.
I kept getting confused on the era being the 20s and the constant torn or dirty hems. Still a fun read.
FUN
Was a fun read. Over too fast
