A Mysterious Review of Blue Moon by Wendy Corsi Staub. The Mundy's Landing Trilogy.
Review summary: This is a very unnerving mystery about a series of unsolved crimes committed a century ago and someone who is trying to recreate them today. The characters are well-drawn and approachable, and there are many twists and turns. Incredibly suspenseful and very hard to put down once started. (Click here for text of full review.)
