Maggie PillRezensionen

A friend of Retta, one of the Sleuth Sisters is accused with killing his wife, their private detective agency is employed to clear his name. As more facts are exposed the case gets more complicated.

I don't care for books switching viewpoints which this author does. The backstory could have been told by one character, for me the shifts were jarring and boring. A cozy mystery with a good plot and good end.

I enjoyed the story of three sisters and how they work together though sometimes their "button pushing" could get on my nerves a bit. I did think it was somewhat realistic and believable though from what I know of most siblings.

I thought Barb's being a self-appointed grammar corrector was different--though at times I had a hard time telling what she had corrected and why. (Most of the time it was obvious, but there was at least one instance where I wasn't sure just what she had changed on the sign and then she also ignored a different grammar faux pa of alot not being a word. Something I doubt a true grammarian, as the author tries to paint her as being, would do.

There were also several other errors in the book--spellings of names of businesses and characters that would change from time to time. This made me wonder how well the author could write a grammar-nazi character.

I also read the first book in this series. I like the sisters but sometimes their ability to push each other's buttons wears a bit thin. I missed Barbara's grammar nazi corrections which were featured a bit more in book 1. Overall though it is a good series with likeable main characters, and I am enjoying reading it. I do plan to read more books in this series.

Not a bad idea, and some fun, but the sister who was an Assistant D. A. see for too naive and ignorant.
