"MacBeth and mayhem in the 50s. What a mix! I love Ms. Schunk’s characters,
and I remember the milieu all too well. It was the era you love to hate,
beautifully brought to life."

life in the South in the 1950s when racism and bigotry were around every
frightening corner, Black and Secret Midnight is a great mystery with
plenty of foreshadowing, clues, and red herrings to keep you reading far
into the night." |
