Being a huge Dickens fan I was really intrigued when I saw this book on the shelf. It is a mystery with Scrooge and Dickens working together to solve the murder of Fezziwig. Many of the characters from Dickens' novels are in this book and that makes it fun to read for fans of Dickens. It is not the most compelling book to finish, but I pushed on to the end and the last page was quite fun. For a reader who is not a fan of Dickens, this book will not hold much interest for them. This is the first in a series. Pick this up if you are looking for a easy read you do not have to think about. ( )
