edit data

I was born in Albania. My family moved to the US when I was 9. We lived a year in L.A. Then we moved to Columbus, OH where I did all my schooling.

Worries live indoors

This was my first read of this very famous murder mystery author. Unfortunately I was disappointed. I thought it read dull and dreary. Not a fan.
