Same As It Never Was
Praise for Same As It Never Was"Adjusting to a new town becomes especially hard for a teen once she suspects a service club is up to something sinister in this YA mystery.... An entertaining tale aggrandized by an unshakable protagonist and the family she’s thankfully stuck with.”
—Kirkus Reviews
Carolyn R. Russell sticks a perfect landing with her humorous mystery, Same as It Never Was. Quinn Bard, her smart, plucky protagonist, grants readers a close look into the messy life of a teen girl transplanted from Boston to a small New Hampshire town. The repartee in Quinn's intellectual family is delightful and the young characters are well-drawn and true-to-life as they go about their adventures. A must-read!—Edith Maxwell, Agatha- and Macavity-nominated author of the Quaker Midwife Mysteries, the Local Foods Mysteries, and the Country-Store Mysteries
