Good read
What a great series, I simply cannot wait to start my next book!!! Characters are very real, and perfectly imperfect.
I really liked this book. Especially since it's not just one mystery but several. And the perfect mystery trio so far is written well. And I just want to find out more.
The story was a quick read, & not quite as sophisticated as most James Patterson books. I realized more than once that it was the perfect set up for a TV series.
I love the witty banter and the play on Holmes, Marple, and Poe. The book catches your interest right from the start and keeps you engaged in the multiple plots. The team of misfit detectives manages to generate a lot of business, and the "game is a foot" throughout the book. Whimsical, satirical, fun! I highly recommend this book and look forward to the next in the series.
