#2 in the series
Will I read other installments? Probably Not Maybe Likely Most LIkely Definitely This was a fast and easy read. I will listen to one more in the series before I commit.
Comparison to others in series: Better About the same Not as good Good, but it could have been better I liked this one a bit better than Edwin of the Iron Shoes. Although there was no wrap up for Gus, was there?
Odd:  ". . . the chocolate bar she had eaten had been Hershey's, an excellent brand. As far as serious chocolate lovers were concerned, the best thing about Ghirardelli was the wrapper." Was this a joke? I know the book was written in 1983, but hasn't Ghirardelli always been better than the humble Hershey bar?
The narrator was Laura Hicks. She's solid; no complaints.
