Alice et les contrebandiers

The eerie atmosphere really added to the mystery. I wonder if the author based it on a real location or created it from imagination.

The book kept me on the edge of my seat but also made me smile at the characters’ antics. Is that a common trait in Carolyn Keene’s mysteries?

Their small acts of courage felt very genuine. I’m curious if the author aimed to show that anyone can be brave in the right moment.
