Wonderful Series!

I just finished rereading this book and I think I enjoyed it even more the second time. I absolutely adore Jane Langton's books. I have every one, including her series for children. I find the books enjoyable on so many levels. There's the mystery and you want to find out how the "bad guy" will finally be exposed. But then there is this whole other level. The books make you see the world in a different way. This book reminded me on "Charloote's Web", in that a spider's life is examined throughout the story. I just loved it. If you do too, read "Dark Nantucket Noon". That is my favorite!

My first Homer Kelly mystery

I chose this book at the Library many years ago and liked it so much that I always look for a new Jane Langdon mystery and I am never disappointed when I find one. I have enjoyed following Homer and Mary as they grow older with me living life with humor and tolerance. I have loved the drawings found in each novel. May there be many more in this series in the future.
