The Girl With the Phony Name

Summary: TERRIFIC!!!
Review: After reading the other wonderful praise by fellow reviewers, I actually bought the book (since it's now out of print)from a zbook dealer amazon referred. What a great find! This book was a joy to read. I loved Lucy McAlpin Trelaine and can't wait to see her next appearance...Tak Wing is a wonderfully quirky character and his unusual funeral parlor made me hysterical! Follow Lucy as she travels from Chicago to Weehawken NJ to the island of Lis in Scotland to determine her true identity as well as information on her deceased parents. Humor and bizarre secondary characters abound! Please Mr Mathes, more Lucy!!!

Summary: Absolutely wonderful read - couldn't put it down!
Review: The book is so well written and the characters so likeable that it really bothered me to be done with the book! I simply adore Tak Wing and his unique fellow employees as well as Lucy, the main character. Though I also thoroughly enjoyed his other book and Emma Passant, this one is my favorite of his and of any other author I have read yet this year.
