5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read, March 16, 2008

This review is from: The Refuge: A Maxie and Stretch Mystery (Paperback)

I really enjoyed this book--I've read the two previous ones with Maxie and Stretch. I enjoy the references to the dachshund, although he was absent a great deal in this one. I hope Sue will continue this series as I like the interesting places I can travel with her. My only suggestion is bring Stretch back. Thanks Sue.

I was so looking forward to another Maxie and Stretch paperback...But very disappointed in this book... I felt as if i was reading a travel brochure instead of a light mystery book...I think Maxie needs to get back in motorhome and head back into the continental United States...if i want a guided tour and info I will go to library or AAA...Guess I will have to find another author as I am not into Alaska books or the Jessie Arnold series...

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst Book Ever?, March 8, 2008

By 

Alex Armstrong "Glide Gal" (San Diego California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Refuge: A Maxie and Stretch Mystery (Paperback)

Recognizing the author by name, I recently borrowed this book on tape from my local library for a LONG road trip. I was sorely disappointed, however. Repetitious details (how many times did we hear the EXACT same description of "the gun in the Winnebago" anyway?) burdened the plot, robbing the story of suspense. The book is more a travel book of Hawaii than a "Who-Done-It," ... leading me to wonder, "Who Cares?" The title must have been a second choice: "Much Ado About Nothing" was already taken.
