Reviews for Closed for Winter
14 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Beautifully written with a slow paced writing style. The actor's first book and my first Georgia Blain. I would have given it four stars had we been told the fate of Frances - I hate being left in limbo! Closed for Winter is a little bit coming of age, a little bit mystery and a little bit whodunit, however the who, is never revealed.
