Delightful, yet missing

As a long time fan of Ms. MacCleod, I eagerly dug into two new finds. I believe I own every Shandy book she has written; "The Odd Job" and "Exit the Milkman" "Exit.." is very true to her form. Charming, whimsical characters, and a familiar cast of regulars, make it a great addition to her repetoire. However, the humor seemed bit less apparent than usual. I find I often laugh aloud during her stories. This outing was a little more subdued. The delightful dialog was there, but seemed just a tad less witty than usual. The story was more "plot" than "people" driven. In every other regard, I found it entertaining. The ending twist, was one I had totally missed! I could not have picked up her cues til then. Great Addition to a mystery reader's collection.

A wry, off the wall fun time!

A great book. While maybe not the most textbook of mysteries, its a great read full of fun and humor. I loved it, I couldn't wait to finish it and find out who dun it!
