J. Curtis, Mrs. Brown, As Simple as Snow

J. Curtis, Mrs. Brown, As Simple as Snow
Gregory Galloway. As Simple as Snow. Publish Group: United States, 2005.

Anne Cayne was not like your everyday new girl in town, she loves secret codes, short-waved radios, old music, and she notices all the little things. Her boyfriend and she would send each other puzzles and codes to decipher, and he loved doing them until deciphering them was a matter between life and death. With puzzles, secret codes, and numeric maps hidden all over town, he is the only one who can find her, when she goes mysteriously missing. As Simple as Snow, by Gregory Galloway, is a mind-bending mystery that looks at young love, loss, and family. Each character plays a significant role, which the reader must understand from the beginning. Galloway includes suspense and imagery as a way to keep the reader intrigued. His writing is simple to comprehend, and this book is a quick and easy read. I recommend this book to anyone who likes to read a good mystery, with love, family and friendships tied in as well.

This appeals to me because I am interested in family relationships, mystery,and suspence. I would read this because I have never read this author before and i have heard other reviews from people about this book.
