Book Review: Mystery in the Title (Miranda Abbott Mystery #2) by Ian Ferguson and Will Ferguson

In preparing for a trip overseas this past summer, I purchased a few ebooks for my Kindle. I wanted to be sure that once I boarded the plane, I had some choices of what I could read. Sophie Kinsella’s book I’ve Got Your Number was one of those books. I ended up reading this towards…
