Imagine Agatha Christie writes a murder mystery, using a cast of characters as vast as any by J.R.R. Tolkien, and places it in the land of Louis L'Amour. This is the scope of And the Wind Whispered, the tale of three teenaged budding reporters who stumble onto a murder, which is only the beginning of the mystery. With visits from a virtual who's who of the wild west, the boom town of Hot Springs, South Dakota will not soon for get 1894. No library descriptions found. |

The historian in me nodding approvingly at a lot of good research leading to a lot of rare historical accuracy. The reader in me was yawning.
As Caroline says there are only so many books to read and this one isn't going to be one of mine.
Sprung the trap door on my TBR pile and dropped this one right down the chute to my DNF pile -- ker - PLUNK!. (
