3 StarsFull of dramaThere were several POVs in this story, and one was from eight year old Alice.The story is full of drama and scandal, and has an interesting plot. The writing was well done, but could’ve used a few polishes, but the story was there. It was exciting and the characters were compelling, but

5 StarsBernie is more than a god Bernie is at it again, and along with Suzie and Lenny, he is searching for a lostgirl. I like this new hero and hope there will be more Bernie adventures to come.

5 StarsWonderful Mystery, First, with knowing the background of the author, I was really drawn toreading this book. Now that I’ve read it, I am so glad that I did. This is not a typical story by any means, and the setting is perfect. There is a sense of light and dark but it’s what’s in
