Reviewed on Lili Lost in a Book
Hickory Dickory Dock The Ghost In The Clock had another intriguing mystery, which is something I always love about this series! I mean, the title tells it all: someone was found dead in a clock! WTF?! And not only that, but it looks like they were murdered! Talk about being creative. Heh.
Another thing I love about this series is our regular characters! Jack, Greg, Detective Shorts, and of course, Mel. Mel was actually super sassy in this one and I loved it! She is such a great character to follow around on these mysteries!
And then we have Tammy. Again.
Mine too, actually. And I don’t know if she’s supposed to be endearing, but she’s totally not! She’s so goddamn annoying!
But overall, this was another fun and fast read in the Mellow Summer series! I always love these books and I am definitely looking forward to the next installment of this action-packed and humorous series!

Tammy meant well, but her exuberant manner tended to rub people the wrong way, and always got on Jackie’s nerves. -Mel
