Hi, All,
The Mark Twain Mystery series is authored by Peter Heck...I
reviewed one for the Forum several years back. I thought at
the time that it was great fun, with just enough Twain
background to give a reader that "insider" feel...also I'm
in the process of reviewing "Shohola Falls" (oops, better
get back to that). If those novels are of any interest to
you for your study, I'm pretty sure they are still
available,
Jan McIntire-Strasburg
