Once Upon a Dark November
Once Upon a Dark November is a children’s book by Carol Beach York. If you like mysteries you may really like the work of Carol Beach York. Her stories are not difficult to read but they usually pack a wallop. Once Upon a Dark November starts with a peaceful scene: a woman putting down her reading, climbing the stairs and then stating cheerfully, “Auntie’s coming!” She then releases a frightened child from the locked attic. We then switch scenes and times and come upon Katie, doing light housework after school for Mr. and Mrs. Herron. Truthfully, she has a crush on Mr. Herrron, her teacher. Life goes on until Mrs. Herron announces ominously that their cousin is coming. Then the mystery really takes off with murder and mayhem.
