FREEMAN'S VERY BEST MYSTERY,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Jacob Street Mystery (Paperback)
I have read many of Freeman's mysteries but , the Jacob Street Mystery is by far the best and most thrilling one he wrote. Usually it will takeme a few days to finish one of his mysteries but I started this one one morning and finished it that afternoon, not even taking time out for lunch. It concerns a very talented artist and his new neighbor who professes to be an artist but she is seemingly the most untalented artist he or anyone else has ever seen and therein lies a mystery with more twists and turns than you could imagine. Freeman's books can be hard to find but if you love a good mystery with much imagination, I suggest you track all of his you can find.
