Miss Benson's Beetle

One of the best books I've read this year. I can't recommend this one highly enough! The characters are so well-developed and unique, they will be undoubtedly stay with me for years, and the descriptions of place are extremely well-written. I dog-eared many pages just so I could return to the descriptions and savor the writing. This book has a little bit of everything: drama, friendship, adventure, and mystery.
