The Principal Cause of Death

Discovered Baldwin with the "Murder on the Badger". Liked the local references to places in Wisconsin and Michigan that my wife and I had visited on our sailboat. Not Macdonald or Spillane but I find them very engrossing.

As the editor says, the senior HS student has a learning disability. PLUS, the heros of the book have a hearing impairment and are in a wheelchair. (There is nothing mobility impaired about Maggie!) Good book for readers unexposed to people with disabilites to feel more comfortable learning what differently-abled really means! These heros earn respect and admiration, pity is not needed nor desired here! It is rare to find (hero-type) people with disabilites in a mainstreamed book. Highly recommend!!
