Book description

Why read it?
1 author picked The Twenty-One-Year Contract as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I’m a fan of history. A storyline that revolves around such a long-term contract intrigued me. This one is set back in the 1960s, with scenes that jump back to World War II and then the fifties.
Griffin’s style was smooth. She brought me along in the story, giving me little hints as to what was really going on. There are secrets galore here and plenty of surprises. The characters are well-drawn. The timeframe of the story works perfectly with some of the twists.
From Mark's list on contemporary cozy mysteries.
