Review: What a Page Turner!  Move over Nancy Drew and Agatha Christie!
Rating: 5 out of 5

I honestly was prepared not to like this book, but then chapter one's ending took me so completely by surprise that I gasped out-loud and immediately delved into Chapter 2! Maureen Mullis has the potential to become a great writer.  The book is well-written, fast-paced, and exciting. There are so many of us Nancy Drew fans that dream of being put in a situation like Nancy Drew.  We refuse to grow up or see Nancy Drew as anything but spectacular.  Ms. Mullis captures this fantasy.  Seriously, leave out Nancy Drew and you still have a great novel. Yes, it could use a good editor but the book is well-written.  There isn't a writer out there who doesn't need an editor but editor's come with a huge price.  A lot of the mistakes are due to computers and how fast we type and correct. We just don't see mistakes like we did when we used a typewriter. Ms. Mullis probably never used one, now that I think about it.  Typewriters were on their way out when I was in college. I find no fault in the overall editing of this book.  Basically, it is very well written. I enjoyed it so much that I have purchased her second book, In the Company of Women.  I have a feeling because Ms Mullis is so clever in expressing personalities that this book is going to be very satisfying. Very good job, Maureen Mullis.  I hope an editor reads this and snatches you up.  You deserve it.Dawn Kurtz, author of the Christian novel:Secret of the Mexican Doll
