This review is from: The House That Jack Built (Paperback)
Brilliant! Wonderful! Wow! Okay, I'm getting carried away, but I absolutely loved Annie Hill and her slinky sleuths, Agatha and Alfred.
With very few cases trickling in for her PI business, Annie picks up and moves to a quaint, little town in Illinois. She tosses her no-good boyfriend and brings along her southern-speaking friend, Keela May, and her two cats, Agatha and Alfred.
As she settles into her new home, she meets Rick Warrick, a charming and funny fireman and handyman, who just happens to come in handy to fix her roof and sink leaks, not to mention he's a wealth of information on the town's history.
When a huge mirror comes to life with a ballroom party, complete with dancing ghosts, Annie finds the town holds some bizarre secrets. No one will come to her house to discuss business, so she has to solve the mystery of the party that happens every Saturday night in the house that Jack built first.
I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery! Agatha and Alfred were adorable and had me laughing out loud a few times. Keela May was an interesting character who stood out. Annie Hill was a darling, and Rick can be my handyman anytime.
Please, please write really fast, Ms. Yarina, and get out the next Triple A mystery. I can't wait!
