This has been such a fun series. Intelligent, clever, excellent vocabulary, and rather tongue-in-cheek; I've very much enjoyed these books.

The Myrtle Hardcastle mysteries continue to be delightful! For a special treat, pick this one up on audio. (They're all excellent on audio, but the narrator handles the Scottish dialect and explanations particularly well.)
