It took a while for me to get into the book. But based on the strength of her other books, I kept at it, and I ended up being very happy by the end. In fact, I’ve already started the second book in the series. Hopefully, the second will be even better and this series hold me over until India and Matt come home or until Sylvia and Gabe stumble across another magical mystery.
