The book starts out almost too realistic and then slips away into what reminded me of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys. Despite the totally unrealistic and somewhat ridiculous situations it was still enjoyable. Spencer Quinn (aka Peter Abrahams) is a talented writer. I loved the “Chet and Bernie” series for their sheer entertainment and imagination of the author. I’m sure many readers will enjoy this book, but it is quite a bit different than “Chet and Bernie”.
