5.0 out of 5 stars Great Series, January 5, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Blue Plate Special (Sunny Childs Mysteries) (Paperback)
This is a terrific series and the latest installment didn't disappoint. Sunny is a very likeable heroine and her adventures make for good reading.

However, there are so many errors in this book -- spelling, grammar, punctuation -- that it gets to be distracting about halfway through. I hope the author and her publisher find a new editor before the next installment comes out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and different!, December 8, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Blue Plate Special (Sunny Childs Mysteries) (Paperback)
People don't often write puzzle/closed-room mysteries any more, but Birmingham ventures into that style with the opening murder -- if the person standing with a gun next to the dead body isn't the killer, who is?

As a former Atlanta resident, I recognized the setting and noticed that the author was true to life.

This is an enjoyable, surprising read.
