Yes, another review I promised that was put off because I found some other writer or book a lot more interesting.

It's definitely not a mystery. Melody at Redeeming Qualities has a review of it http://redeemingqualities.wordpress.com/2011/11/14/girl-alone/ and I commented. I guess my short-term memory is gone!AudraBark1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07952898681777147816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-39096483979831074792014-01-21T03:47:02.227-06:002014-01-21T03:47:02.227-06:00John, Audra mentioned "Girl Alone," the ...John, Audra mentioned "Girl Alone," the other ebook I'd in mind.

I also have "Girl Alone" in ebook, which Barnes & Noble describes as a mystery and other reviews say is Young Adult. It's about an orphan girl.

Such a genre never existed back when she was alive. Prior to writing mystery novels, she wrote romances for an adult audience. She wrote only five other mystery novels in addition to <i>One Drop of Blood.</i> I'll be reviewing <i>The Black Pigeon</i>, her first mystery, next month.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-67359600823991577902014-01-20T05:25:40.521-06:002014-01-20T05:25:40.521-06:00Nice review, John.
