Another quick read. Unfortunately I find this series lacking in substance and characeter development.

[Rhea Folland · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great read! Really liked this storyline

[Vicky · Rating 3 out of 5]

Although a mostly immature writing style, this book had some substance the previous 5 lacked. The story moved with less filler. I mostly enjoyed this novel but don't see a future purchase of another "diner" mystery in order.

2013-08-13 I really enjoyed this, possibly more than the previous ones. It was an interesting twist to force them to stay at a mansion with all the possible suspects. Enjoyable.

Another fine entry in the Classic Diner Mystery series, this time involving a murder that takes place right in the Charming Moose. Victoria and her grandfather of course have to find the murderer.

This was a fantastic book - a real surprise ending but the best of the series.

This book had some really fun escape room vibes and I loved it! I will miss Curtis as a character but I really enjoyed taking a trip to the pickle palace to hunt for his killer.
