pickDelightful! This 1959 gem starts on an odd premise - Jody awakes from a fall determined to figure out why she has a memory of a man walking a goat - then turns into an engaging mystery plus sweet romance. Jody blossoms as a gal coming into her own when refusing to ‘just forget about it‘. The tension builds brilliantly into a dark twist. Loved how the funny, light tone drew me in and then grabbed me by the neck.

elkeOriginal @Karons1 @batsy Those vintage covers are amazing! Her family are republishing her books with these cartoony covers. At first I was annoyed they were not using the original covers, but now am just glad to have the books to read! 3y
