Not in My Backyard

First off, I have to say that I LOVE all the E.J. Pugh mysteries. Susan Rogers Cooper could write about making a grocery list, and as long as E.J. was the one making the list, it would be highly readable and entertaining, and surely funny. My only criticism of this book was that Cooper does not spend enough time putting E.J in her best element-her family. The interaction E.J. has with Willis, Vera, Luna, Grahm, Megan, and Bessie is what makes each of her books so special; to me the mystery plot is just an excuse to get these wonderful characters together. I hope that future Pugh books have more of this witty and real interaction than Not in My Backyard did.
