4.0 out of 5 stars Delightful, yet missing, October 8, 1998

This review is from: Exit the Milkman (Paperback)

As a long time fan of Ms. MacCleod, I eagerly dug into two new finds. I believe I own every Shandy book she has written; "The Odd Job" and "Exit the Milkman" "Exit.." is very true to her form. Charming, whimsical characters, and a familiar cast of regulars, make it a great addition to her repetoire. However, the humor seemed bit less apparent than usual. I find I often laugh aloud during her stories. This outing was a little more subdued. The delightful dialog was there, but seemed just a tad less witty than usual. The story was more "plot" than "people" driven. In every other regard, I found it entertaining. The ending twist, was one I had totally missed! I could not have picked up her cues til then. Great Addition to a mystery reader's collection.

As most writers grow older, their skills diminish. So with Enter the Milkman. A lot of the book is padding - each character repeating the same thing over and over again. MacLeod's books are humorous mysteries and the humor is there but the mystery is not that taxing. Her earlier books are masterpieces, so get this one to fill out the set.
