Never Trust a Dead Man by Vivian Vande Velde

4.0

Accused of murder and trapped in a cave with his suspected victim’s body, Selwyn wasn’t exactly having a good day when stumbled upon by the old witch. This book was a lot of fun to read. The characters are enjoyable and the mystery holds a fair amount of intrigue, even for an adult reader. Vivian Vande Velde has a way of creating characters that are three- dimensional without dwelling on descriptions and explanations that would make the story drag. If you’re looking for a good read for a child or just a fast read for an adult, I recommend this one whole heartedly.
