review 1: This is a very short story about Bess Crawford as a young girl in India. It isn't really a mystery so much as a tale of adventure. Young Elizabeth suspects that a family friend may be in danger and takes steps to help. In the process her family is put into a dangerous situation and she is called on to assist.I've never read any of the Bess Crawford stories so this was a strange place to begin, but now I will definitely look in to the series. It was a nice little read.
review 2: I didn't realize that this was a short story. One of the drawbacks of downloading e-books is that it's really easy to think you're borrowing a novel rather than a short story. Nonetheless, it was an enjoyable episode from Bess Crawford's childhood in India. Thanks to her curiosity and ... moreher unwillingness to follow the rules, Bess is instrumental in protecting someone's life. The fast pace of the story should have clued me in to the fact that this wasn't the first chapter of a novel! less
