Welcome to Litsy!

After the op shop I visited the book swap.

Action packed! With some sorely needed exposition and character development with an invigorating cliffhanger. Looking forward to getting the next in the series from my library!

Definitely more plot than character development, though we do get a few new characters I want to see more of, in this entry, but whether I was in the right mood or the pacing just worked better, I had fun with the adventure and didn't mind that the ending is once again 'to be continued' for this arc.

The polite little bat that wears a sweater vest with collar and tie. I love him.

Sensible advice delivered in the most terrifying way possible. 🫣

Smack! I had informed him that he was mistaken!

Does seem like it might be fun for little kids but as an adult reader I would like a little more of a storyline.

Graphica. I found the storyline in this book a bit hard to follow. This might be because I have not read all of the series to get to no the characters but it just seems to jump from one action to another. doesn't build much of a storyline.

DNF. The tone was too light and arch for me (dialogue that wants to be "sparkling"), the amateur sleuths had zero reason to be there, and there were too many suspects and too little reason to care why the person was murdered. Also, some shocking fat-shaming.
