5.0 out of 5 stars
Great mystery story,
This review is from: The View From the Cherry Tree (Paperback)
This is a great story, one of Willo Davis Roberts best, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a suspensful tale.Rob's family is very pre-occupied with his sister, Darcy, and her upcoming wedding. Rob pretty much stays out of their way, up in his favorite spot, a limb in his cherry tree. It is there that he sees old Mrs. Calloway get murdered. No one likes the old woman, and everyone seems to think it was an accident. But Rob knows it wasn't and he proves it too. Who was it that murdered old Mrs. Calloway? And will Rob be the next victim since he saw a distinguishing mark on the killer's body? Read the story and find out. I have read the book several times and enjoy every time even though I know what happens.
