Courtney’s Reviews > Mike's Mystery (Volume 5) > Status Update

I get mysteries were popular, but some of the Boxcar ones are pretty bad. They just happen to race the dogs on the spot something’s hidden on? And the dogs just happen to smell the clue & dig it up?

The mom just… agreeing to let her kid stay at a strangers for some unnamed amount of time is weird, too (presumably to keep the rich heirs company, I guess…).

Tho it sounds like all her filling are made from canned fruit, too, which is… a choice. Hopefully they meant pre-made fillings - some of those can at least be decent (aplle’s generally pretty mid).

Not sure about the logic of opening a pie shop instead of a café/diner. Especially if the miners are going there for lunch. Everyone will be sick of fruit pies soon. Even if she just branched into savoury ones, like pot pies.

I wonder if Mike’s mom is dating the investigator guy.
