Learning Lessons with Ricky Kidd
This book collects eleven short stories starring Ricky Kidd and the rest of the Accidental Detectives. While they don’t all feature mysteries to solve, they do include plenty of action and fun. Ricky has a bully or two to deal with. He and Mike take a dangerous canoe ride. And a new classmate’s sculpted replica of a hand leads to a crisis of faith.

Adding to the book, after each story author Sigmund Brouwer shares some thoughts on the theme of the story and the inspiration behind it. These are just as fun as the stories themselves and could almost work as a devotional if they included scriptures. The stories themselves are quick adventures with the characters we love, and fans will be very happy with them.

I laughed my way through this dark, genuinely funny novel.

Laila is a mother of two, and desperate to move to a better area of London. She wants her husband to get the promotion, her children to be accepted into the expensive private school, and for the dead body in the living room to be somewhere else - and who on earth is he?!

Laila is clever, manipulative, very cold and dangerous. However, everything she does has a domino effect, which results in her having to clear up one inconvenience after another.

This is a twisty, fast paced novel, and the narrator, Perdita Weeks, was perfect in bringing Laila to life. It made the prospect of having a sociopath as a friend an attractive proposition (for the laughs, of course!).
