Book Review of Whistling in the Dark

Whistling in the Dark
reviewed on


I rarely rate a book a "5". A "4" rating is when I really enjoy the book and can't wait to get back to it. A "5" is when I think I'll read the book again, and there are few of those. I enjoy a book written through the eyes of a child. This book was about two girls who were left to their own devices while their mother recuperated in the hospital after a serious illness. They may have acted beyond their years, but I think it may be typical of children who are forced to fend for themselves for a long period of time. A child murderer was on the loose and this gave the girls plenty to occupy their time. I will look for more by this author.
