Ratings and reviews

Mona Moon is one of my favorite characters; she is full of spunk and a woman ahead of her time, with a bank full of money, striking looks, and cleverly etched characteristics. I always enjoy reading Ms. Keam’s cozy mysteries as she weaves in actual history and known figures into her entertaining tales. This one had the infamous and snarky Alice Roosevelt and Dorothy Parker wittily snapping at each other. What fun!
