Review of 'Notebook Mysteries Emma' on 'Goodreads'

Nicely developed characters and an entertaining, well paced story to pass a day's reading. There was story tension from the outset, and finding an 80 year-old lady teaching a teenage girl knife-throwing in a 19th century setting was a pleasant surprise. Mystery and danger were promised in the opening pages and this book delivered both. I found Emma to be a realistic, relatable adventurer after my own heart.
The book also features yummy sounding recipes throughout (fitting, seeing as Emma’s family are bakers), so you may want to read this one with post it notes on hand to try your favourite recipes later.
