This review is from: The House by Princes Park (Paperback)
Again, another super read by Maureen Lee. A long time ago someone told me to always remember the author of a book I loved as I would probably love others by the same author. They were right and I'm glad I followed their advice. Maureen's writings have a way of pulling you right into the story and feeling you actually know the characters...for me thats a first class storyteller!
