Review
Reviewed by Lee Ashford for Readers' Favorite
Lady Justice and the Lottery is a fun read, once again showcasing the talents of Robert Thornhill.
I generally am amazed at the historical knowledge of Thornhill who obviously does his homework before writing his stories. He has the uncanny ability to weave those factoids into the fictional plot of his mysteries, while maintaining an air of humor throughout his stories. In short, Thornhill is something of a genius at crafting a good, entertaining mystery, guaranteed to make you laugh.
