Reader comments:
A refreshing book to read. I've read it twice now. Looking forward to reading more of your books. (X.H., 4-16-97) I thought this book was one of the fastest reads I ever had. I was surprised others did not think as highly. My daughter also loved it and I thought his secret and her help rather sweet, and I even read this after the Maiden of Inverness which was also wonderful. (G.A., 12-8-96) I liked the book, but his secret was anticlimatic. Her books about Scotland are much better. (K.B., 11-8-96) A disappointment after the others I've read. Stick to Scotland, please, Arnette! (C.M.K., 9-17-96)
