Jane Considine's Reviews > The Lacemaker's Secret

I always enjoy reading books set in a place I've visited. That was the case with this book, which is set in northeastern Wisconsin. I'm very familiar with Heritage Hill Historical Park, Belgian pies, booyah, roadside chapels along the back roads of Kewaunee and southern Door County, the chapel at Champion, the story of Adele Brise, and the Belgian history center in Namur. Somehow I did not know the background of bobbin lacemaking and the role of lacemaking during WWI. It's a whodunit with a mix of likable characters and scoundrels.
