I like the dynamics between the investigator and his boss. Very Nero Wolf and Archie Goodwin.

I liked how the strengths and weaknesses of were highlighted as Ellis discussed Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe in turn.

Kingfisher wins again. More mature characters well developed and the girl who is being manipulated and used by her mother quite believable too.

Fun, the characters steal the mystery so you don’t care who committed the murder. Poison ivy figures in this book.

A blend of a comedy of manners and psychological parent abuse.

Though the main character is 14 years old, so the book is slanted to teenagers, i enjoyed how her skill a a baker helped save the kingdom.

Pretty slow moving. Disliked the detective who really didn’t seem to want to work with his tram.

I would like to see how the second in this series comes out. I don’t feel like I really got to know or understand these ladies.
