Murder at Monticello
by Langton, Jane
Mystery? Psyche Novel, Ghost Story? I can't recommend a book that can't decide what it wants to be. No mystery to solve, a run-of-the-mill lunatic, weak characters, and a ghostly president make Murder at Monticello not worth the time it takes to breeze through it. Reread Dame Agatha instead. |
