Summary: Wednesday's Child
Review: Of the three self-contained books in the "Day to Remember" series thus far, this one is my favorite. The heroine is well developed and her character evolution through the Depression era is done with sensitivity, humor, and pathos. Some of the more minor characters tend to be two-dimensional, but I don't know how that problem could be avoided since this is a single self-contained story and there are no sequels to flesh out the minors.I especially like how Linda Chaikin brings out the wonderful mystery of femininity and masculinity in her hero and heroine and plays those opposites against each other. If one likes murder-mysteries, this plot has that element as well. If you are anything of a history buff, you will like how little tidbits from the Depression era are woven in and out of the fast-moving tale as well. The dialogue between the hero and heroine is engrossing: one-upmanship, flirting, & tension keep the reader riveted. No profanity & no bodice-ripping scenes help keep the storyline on a higher plane as well. When I'm finished reading Chaikin's stories, I find myself wanting to emulate her hero/heroine's higher principles in my own life.
