I have read the other two Virginia Davies mysteries and liked them. This is probably the best Virginia Davies mystery yet. Her spunk, style and hard driving really come to play. She goes headlong into heart stopping action. Her humor is not lost. The ending caused me to stay up and finish it instead of going to bed on time. The descriptions and characters are good. You can’t help but feel what she does and wring your hands during her exploits. She’s funny, active, smart, daring, loving and every bit Virginia. I loved the location of this story and could see myself there with Virginia. Can’t wait for the next one.
