11. Good Bad Girl by Alice Feeney

Actually, I just finished it. My local library has a thing called Shelf Awareness and you sign up for it and they give you a book of their choosing to read. Last month the topic was Banned Books and this month it's Something Wicked This Way Comes. I was not familiar with this author before I got this book. I generally don't like to read books by British authors because some of them use so many British colloquialisms and slang that I don't know what they're talking about, but this one was pretty good. I can't say it was great, but at least it held my attention and kept me wondering what will happen next which every mystery should.

Now I think I'll check out other books she's written.
