Think on Death: A Ziza Todd Mystery [Hardcover]

David Willis McCullough (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

McCullough, a compiler of mystery stories (e.g., City Sleuths and Tough Guys , Houghton, 1989), here initiates a series featuring Reverend Ziza Todd, a youthful and sometimes irreverent amateur sleuth. Called to the Olde Smyrna Community (a 19th-century Christian utopian society now known for its class-ring business) in upper New York state to conduct a funeral, Ziza finds herself in the midst of strange goings-on: discovery of a long-missing man's bones; murder of the community leader; and turmoil over possible sellout of the business. Moderately interesting but ultimately dismissible characters, a loose-jointed plot, and plenty of camp-in-the-woods atmosphere make this a mixed bag and marginal purchase.

This review is from: Think on Death: A Ziza Todd Mystery (Crime, Penguin) (Paperback)

First let me tell you. The David McCullough who wrote
this book is NOT the one that wrote, "John Adams" and
"The Greater Journey". Many mistakes are being made on
the web assigning David Willis McCullough. Believe me,
there is a world of difference in the two authors.
I didnt really finish this book as it,s not interesting
and seems to think it has to be good if alot of four letter
words are used. It,s ironic-that-the book is about a
female Presbyterian minister who comes to town and helps
solve crimes. I think I paid a penny for it and it probably
is not worth that even.
