As the daughter of a book editor for a major publishing house, Betty Orlemann grew up in a home filled with good books and the love of reading and writing. Her novel, WHO KILLED ANNIE?, is the first... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Grabbed my attentions right away. Great how you wove a car accident into murder. Igot to Chapter 11 before I had to stop but really enjoyed what I read. Action keeps moving you forward. Piece shows a lot of thought and work went into the story. Can't wait until I can find out why Annie was murdered and why an attempt was made on Anna's life. Love the introduction of the dog to show how protective, loving and caring animals are. Keep writing and I wouldn't even give the criticism given Sunday a second thought. Great work. Am going to recommend it to my neighbor.
I JUST LOVE THIS BOOK.

I can't begin to tell you how much I loved your book. I just love a good mystery, and this certainly was one! WOLF was such a great character in your novel. I was waiting till the last paragraph to see how it was going to end, and it was sublime Betty!!!!! You wrote many interesting scenes in your book that really "hit me"! In chapter #21, for example; when the conversation ensues about Gram you say, "It's as if Gram was just in another room"! God I just love that feel Betty, love it. It moved me. Then in chapter #29, when you say- "The body is like a winter coat, you wear it when the weather is cold. But in the summer you simply don't need it any more. Your Gram doesn't need her body now"!!!! wow!!! The images that that placed into my mind brought a comfortable and reassuring feeling to me and it still stays with me as I type these words. Thanks a million Betty. Also, in chapter #36- When you describe Hattie cleaning her silverware with a flannel rag, WHEW, that really bombarded me with an emotion that I haven't thought about in years. When my mom was in a state mental hospital my grandmother took care of me and I remembered her making the noodles and cleaning her utensils with her husbands old discarded flannel shirt from his construction job. I smiled both inwardly and outwardly at this beautiful memory you made me remember.

Who Killed Annie is the kind of mystery that keeps you guessing from beginning to end. The characters are so real I feel like I know them personally!I'm looking forward to the next Hattie Farwell mystery!

Hattie Farwell is a lovable old lady with a huge dog and she can't resist solving murders. If you love mysteries as much as I do, you won't be able to put this one down.
