I loved this historical mystery. It's always odd to think of the 1960s and 1970s as historical, as I lived during those years. The camp setting reminded me of my time at camp, even though I only ever went for a week at a time. This story has everything I want in a good mystery. There are characters to love and hate, a great setting, and a division of class between the working people and the wealthy who visit.
