Isabella Clemens simple life is catapulted after events that leave her desperate for answers. Her journey for the truth is a good read and entertaining.
I decided on 3 1/2 stars due to the story being told more than shown. I found several times where one paragraph read as an introduction to something, yet the following paragraph was more of an afterthought. More than once, I re-read the previous to see if I missed something.
Without Question is an enjoyable read for the one who fully enjoys sitting back and listening to a neighbor tell a story. This is not for someone who wants to read between the lines.
