review 1: The mystery is so well woven that even when the big pieces fall into place, you are still left with quite a few things to wrap up. Even though most of the big questions are answered, there is one lingering question at the very end- but in a good way where the author leaves it that way to let you make your own decision.Read this book first. There is actually another book written before this that is alluded to throughout. Not reading it in order didn't hurt my ability to understand the story. But it did make me want to go back and read "The Theft and the Miracle."
review 2: I won this book in a Goodreads Giveaway.I found the writing of this book to be a bit off and amateurish, and the storyline was not well-developed. Part of the issue could be that it was writt... moreen for children and that the author is British. I felt that the back story about Hannah and the missing statue from the church could have been great, but it was never fully explained and was only vaguely eluded to. Other parts of the story were not explained well either. Some of the descriptions were overdone, like the author was trying too hard.There were some great parts to it though. In some areas, it flowed really well. I loved the reasoning given for the death of Maisie, but it didn't make sense with the overall storyline.I think if this story was reworked and fleshed out a bit, it could be a great story. less
