Customer Reviews

Very funny--Just a few boo-boo's

A very funny book and I hope there is another in the series. But for the record, it's a "conga" line, not a "rhumba" line, and there were four versions of the Invasion of the Body Snatchers when this book was published, not just two.

The Hotel Detective

I loved it: witty, informative, simpatico. A lovely read! Bravo, Mr. Russell.

My favorite of his

This is my favorite Alan Russell. I Just love Am in his first mystery. It is absolutely hilarious but the mystery is well done also. The "Bob Johnsons" are the best! They are reminiscent of Sharon MacCrumb's BIMBO'S OF THE DEATH SUN. I definitely recommend this one!
