The Night Flyers, by Elizabeth McDavid Jones. I think the story had the potential to be more interesting but setting it a month before the end of the war (WWI in this case) made the stakes seem much lower. It was pretty easy to tell that the person Pam was convinced was the culprit wasn’t it, but the revelation of the true culprit keeps you guessing.

Goodreads star rating: 3/5

Secrets on 26th Street, by Elizabeth McDavid Jones. It’s interesting to have a story about women’s suffrage that focuses more on state-by-state ratification than the federal amendment, but the Looking Back section could have done a better job explaining Alice Paul’s role in the movement.

Part of it may be that I’ve read the book before, but I found the mystery to be very obvious.

Goodreads star rating: 3/5

Ghost Light on Graveyard Shoal, by Elizabeth McDavid Jones. Some similarities to Dear America’s A Light in the Storm, with a tiny bit of Chronicles of Avonlea. Unlike most History Mysteries, this one has an epilogue.

TW: emotional abuse (at least that’s the vibe I got). Most of the adults treat Rhoda like a nuisance and the only one who listens to her has ulterior motives.

Goodreads star rating: 2/5
