[Walt & Rebecca Wagner]

I love mysteries, and this one doesn't disappoint. I had the sense early on that it is aimed at a younger demographic than mine, (I'm 77) but I enjoyed it. The author gave the romance aspect a nice light touch, making it suitable for young girls too, and I love happy endings. Really good intensity of feeling looking for her child.

This book was at place we stayed this summer and I could not even get through it. I know why it was left behind.

Interesting mystery with a bit of romance thrown in.
Beyond the Roses kept my interest and I enjoyed reading it.
