All three of my children *love* Liffey Rivers. They are precocious readers. My 8 year old daughter is crazy about Irish dance, so it made sense that she would love these books. But my 10 year old, who hates Irish dance, still loved these books. And my 8 year old son also loves them. They are well written mysteries that any kid who likes mysteries would enjoy.

After I read the 1st Liffey Rivers book I had to read the second one. When I got it I finished it the first night which is unusual for me. Liffey Rivers mysteries are getting better and more interesting as each book progreses. In this book Liffey Rivers solves a mystery that starts in London and ends up on the top of a mountain in Ireland with an amazing ending. I can't wait for the next one! I have to know waht happens next!...
