Excellent well written mystery! Elizabeth, Mike,Tom, Diana, Mrs. Parens and more make up some of the characters in this well written mystery! Lots of clues but the author will keep you interested right up to the last few chapters where there is a twist and all comes to light. Shadow is getting better and plays an important part. There is the humor , it livens up the story and if I tell you too much it will ruin it for you. Remember things are not as they always seem and a stolen house and missing gold makes for and interesting mystery.
