On the Five Star Scale *****
Naughty Bits () - None, although it does deal with issues of euthanasia and what constitutes murder.
Readability (*****) -264 pages of easy reading.
Sap Factor (*) - A husband who loves his wife so much that his earthly comforts are nothing compared to her eternal salvation.
Final notes (***) - This book reminded me of a Agatha Cristie novel. Not really exciting but an okay mystery that was clean.
