Time For Your Dose of Fun Medicine
It’s the summer of 1894, and brothers Old Red and Big Red have traveled to Galveston, Texas. They aren’t on an official case, but they have gone down to help their friend Olivia Pertwee. Her family has suffered from a blackmailer, but their business partner just died in a fire in his warehouse. Is someone out to destroy the family’s business?

It’s always a pleasure to pick up a book in this series. I found the suspects perfect for keeping me confused, but I really liked the growth we saw in the brothers. I did figure out part of the plot out early, but the rest kept me guessing until the logical climax. This series isn’t a cozy series, but as long as you know that going in, you’ll be fine. I laughed so often, both at the relationship between the brothers and the antics of the suspects. As always, I am looking forward to seeing where the author will take us next.

Bodysnatchers' by Suzie Lennox and it's turning into one of these books I just can't put down. It's amazing reading about the lengths these men and women went to, to obtain bodies. As I continue to read through the book I have become totally amazed by how business like the  whole affair was.The book was well written and highly researched which can be seen throughout.

The book deserves a five star rating and I will definitely be reading more of the author's books

Myron returns to New York from an unannounced vacation when he finds out that business partner has been accused of murdering one of their clients. But she didn't really do it, did she? Outside of one scene I really didn't care for, I found this book to be a very good mystery with great characters. I have a feeling I'll be reading more.

When PI Charlie Swift is saddled with a new partner, she does everything she can to get this new woman to quit the business. Meanwhile, she has to track down the missing mother of a baby. The book has an odd combination of humorous and serious, but it really works. I liked the characters and can't wait to visit them again.

Good cast (0 more)
Not funny (1 more)
Very loose idea for a plot
Very poor 80's style teen comedy
This definitely tries to capture the vibe of films like Ferris Bueller's day off and Risky Business to name a couple. It fails badly though. Despite quite an ensemble cast most only have a few scenes or cameo roles. It's just not that funny and goes from one odd scene to the next. There are better more recent teen comedies than this around.
