The Annual Canadian Reading Challenge - Month 2!

Today I finished reading Skeletons in the Attic by Canadian author Judy Penz Sheluk. She lives in northern Ontario and this book is one of her series, "A Marketville Mystery". Her website is:  https://www.judypenzsheluk.com/

A good read! wth a hard-to-guess ending.  Family secrets left to fester, with more than one skeleton hidden in the attic. Only Callie is left to figure out the mysteries and try to solve the disappearance of her mother so many years ago. I intend to read more from this author. 

Still time for you to join the 2022-2023 Canadian Reading Challenge. Details here: https://blogspot.com/2022/09/the-16th-annual-canadian-reading.html
