Subject: Good mystery
This is one of those mysteries that starts out slow but has you wrapped up and listening carefully as it progresses. Mdm Stangerson is found seriously injured in a locked room and refuses to talk about it to anyone, even those that love her and want to help her. As the story progresses, it becomes clear that she has a terrifying secret to hide. Even after a second vicious attack, she says nothing. Despite her silience, young Routabille is determined to find the guilty party and beat the police to the solution. Good readers as well. Enjoy!
