From the Inside Flap

Willy Ashton, Calico's newly elected mayor, is being pursued by Debrah Beyer, whom he once had a crush on in high school. She is a woman who left town after the accidental drowning of her twin sister and has now returned to open a gift shop. Everyone knows that Debrah's motives are not romantic except poor Willy. When Julia Mock, a mysterious poor widow never seen without her sunglasses, comes to town, Jennifer Gray's heart goes out to her. Jennifer's heart goes out to her even more when Julia dies in a freak car accident. It soon becomes apparent to Jennifer and the townspeople that it may not have been an accident. What secrets will be revealed before this mystery is solved?

This review is from: The Potbellied Pig Caper (Hardcover)

This book is a nice, light read for mystery fans. It is not nearly as complex as an Agatha Christie novel, but it holds the reader's interest. One of the better "small American town" in the middle of nowhere mysteries.

Like other books published by Avalon, the book is clean and decent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clean, fun mystery., August 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Potbellied Pig Caper (Hardcover)

Although the characters are not developed in detail in the one story, if the whole series is read the reader can feel comfortable with the main characters. The story is fairly light-weight, no gruesome descriptions of the murder. As always, Georgette Livingston shows that an entertaining story can be written without the vulgar language so many authors contrive to use to sell their books.

This book is the cutest little mystery. It is a veternarian mystery. I thought it was pretty well written, interesting, and entertaining. This book is the pig book. I hope to be able to read the whole series.
