As usual I was drawn into the people and places of Frantz’s novel as I opened the covers of this book. Roxie and the residents of the fort each in their own ways won over readers hearts. Of course there is also little mute Abby who wheedles her way into everyone’s lives she touches with just a look. Abby and everyone else assume she belongs to the Colonel because looks can’t lie but twins can. Frantz has woven a number of mysteries into the plot of this novel that all seem to be somehow connected to the Colonel but their true link both to him and one another proves to be a twist no one is quite ready for when it is finally revealed. Frantz keeps readers turning pages wondering what is really going on at the periphery of things that is not ever truly explained but you know things aren’t “right” as the story progresses. You have to pick up a copy of this book to see what I mean. (ISBN#9780800733414, 408pp, $14.99)
