[Farah Angelina N · Rating 4 out of 5]

Because this book was originally published in 1990 - 1992, i decided to pick this book to read as i didn’t know this book existed back then. I initially wanted to read book 3 only as i was intrigued by the title. But 2 chapters in and i love the writing style, so i decided to read the whole 4 book series instead.

Out of the 4 books, my favourite was the #1 (a professor being framed for killing another professor for a tenure) and #2 (a jewish boy being framed for killing his Reverend neighbour). The #3 (a theatre actress being framed for killing the director) and #4 (a homeless man being framed for killing a masseuse in her own home) were not as exciting as the first two books of this series.

However, all four books had great twist from the superb deduction skills. Always get excited when i reach the end so i get to know what really went down with the murder, according to the great mind of mommy dearest.
