Why read it?
1 author picked A Dangerous Goodbye as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I was drawn into this book immediately by the cryptic crossword clues and the mystery of Fenn Church’s missing boyfriend. It’s impossible not to get drawn into this brilliant story.
Although I’m not a huge fan of World War II books, I adored this one set just at the end of the war. I also really enjoyed reading about the French winery setting as Fenn tries to solve the mystery. When I get a chance, I will be rereading this brilliant book.
From KJ's list on The best books about the adventures of female amateur sleuths.
