Customer Reviews
For me, a sentimental journey.
4 Stars. I actually loved it despite a couple first time growing pains not really worth mentioning. The mystery was excellent as were the characters. I have confidence will clean things up in the remaining books in this series.
I really enjoyed the location as I, too, own a home on Little Spider Lake. It’s not in Musky Falls, but another small North Woods town. We also have a candy shop where you can see fudge being stirred in two large copper kettles. I fish for Musky with several replicas on the wall that exceed 50 inches. I’ve been going up there for 53 years or since I was 6. Two of the four most important people in my life were integral to my love of the place, my father and brother. My dad died very early at 57, 27 years ago. My little brother this past October at only 52. I know the pull and memories that drive John and Nania. I love that I found this series. The memories it spawned about “the Northern Lakes” were wonderful, even though many were sad. I can’t wait to see where these books go.
