Not that great, but good
Read my title, that's all you really need to know. It was okay, good, and bad in parts. It's a mystery, but I don't like (most) mysteries, and I liked this. It's an interesting book. Buy it, check it out, read it.

History Mystery,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shadow-Catcher (Hardcover)
Jonathan's Grandpa is under suspicion with the arrival of alady friend for Sunday dinner in this historical mystery which takesplace in the late 1800's in rural Maine. Grandpa is by profession a traveling photographer and when Jonathan is assigned to keep an eye on him as he travels to logging camps and the town of Masham unusual events begin to unfold. It's a tough task, not at all like the detecting done in the dime novels that are Jonathan's favorite reading material. Ostensibly training Jonathan to handle the camera and assist in the photography Grandpa is unhelpful, taciturn and unwilling to include him in anything but mundane tasks. Gradually the two develop some rapport, but as mysterious events dog their trail the clues multiply that a serious crime, maybe even murder has been committed and someone is after the photographic evidence. And they don't care who they harm to get it. A question of who to trust is at the core of solving the mystery and Jonathan discovers the answer when he questions his assumptions about friends and foes. Better than the usual plot and some engaging characters make this an attractive offering for kids in 4th-5th grade.
