How appropriate that this mystery has two titles: Crossing the Lines, and After She Wrote Him. Aussie author Sulari Gentill is a favourite of mine, and I loved her unique, twisty, psychological invention!
5★ My review of Crossing the Lines / After She Wrote Him

Elvis Presley's unique contribution to music in the middle of the last century (yikes!) is celebrated in author Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara's recent addition to the Little People BIG DREAMS series for kids.
