Now From Elm Hill Books: The first book in the Helen Bradley Mysteries, Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep

Helen is a charming character, reminiscent of Dorothy Gilman's Mrs. Pollifax, with the addition of a strong belief in Christianity to motivate her actions. This is the first book in the Helen Bradley series, but characters may seem familiar through Rushford's young adult mystery series featuring Jennie McGrady. _______________________Library Journal
