Not what I expected, but wow what a story! I could feel the suspense leap off the pages. I can't wait for the next story.

I bought this as a gift and then one for myself. What a great way to stay in touch with family far away. We all had theories about what was going on. And each of had the actual documents to touch and feel. Fantastic!
