A thoroughly delightful page turner!

I have to confess I came upon this title while perusing works by my favorite voice talent Sean Barrett. Close to no reviews but the few there were indicated some potential and I was not disappointed. I had to force myself to put down this novel rather than the reverse and as always, Mr. Barrett was excellent in his interpretation of the narrative. Kudos.
