For starters, it took me 4 days to read it. With my current schedule, it usually takes me about a week, week and a half to read a book. I couldn't put this one down though. The first 200 pages make you want to keep turning the page. Austin is a great character, one I could relate to, one I could see myself through because I would be doing exactly what she did in that situation. That gave the book the "I cannot put this book down!" quality. Not only does she go sleuthing around, but she doesn't know much about how to start, so she ends up stumbling and crashing into things that just keep her going in the right direction. Kay Kendall does a great job of making us feel like we're in the sixties but not throwing us so much into that time that it alienates the reader from being able to connect.

I loved this vintage tale of a woman who pushes through isolation and the prejudices of her time to find a killer. Austin cannot allow her husband to go to jail for something he did not do. Thus begins a race across Canada to find the guilty party. Highly recommended for those who like historical tales.
