A DELIGHTFUL AND CHARMING WHODUNIT!

Carole Bugge's WHO KILLED MONA LISA is a delightful and charming "whodunit" in the classic tradition. Claire Rawlings and her sidekick, 12 year old Meredith Lawrence, visit the cozy New England inn, the Wayside Inn, and stumble on a murderous mystery surrounding the Secret Drawer Society. Bugge's style is crisp, rapid and engaging; her characters believable and compelling. The plot is tight-knit and the suspense builds and deepens from page one. Claire and Meredith follow the clues like true modern Sherlockians. The "Claire Rawlings series"--of which this is the third, preceded by WHO KILLED BLANCHE DuBOISE and WHO KILLED DORIAN GRAY--is one of the most delightful and thrilling series of "whodunits" to grace the mystery field in many years. I highly recommend WHO KILLED MONA LISA to one and all!

a good addition to the series

This series just keeps getting better. This latest Who Killed... book has a little more emotional depth than the last two and I found it the most satisfying read so far in this series. A lot of the fun of this series is seeing the teenage sleuth, Meredith, become more complex, and I look forward to future developments as she grows up in later books... The atmosphere of New England is very well rendered, and this is an ideal book for curling up by the fireside.

GREAT FUN FOR EVERYONE

A friend recommended that I read this series of mysteries from this talented young writer. I highly recommend these books. They are fun, exciting, and suspenseful in the classic "Whodunit?" style. Younger readers may enjoy these books as well because one of the main sleuths is a thirteen year old. So, stock up on "Pepperidge Farm" cookies and sit down for a great read.

Don't Miss These -- You Can't Put 'em Down!

Carole Bugge has written a wonderful series of mysteries. Yes, "Who Killed Mona Lisa?" is the latest, but I recommend that you start with "Who Killed Blanche Du Bois?" to really get invloved with Meredith and Claire -- Bugge's sleuths. One of Bugge's great talents is creating wonderful characters; another is giving the reader a great sense of atmosphere. Her books are fun: perfect for the beach, a lazy Sunay afternoon, or -- for a New Yorker -- the subway ride to work. Order all three books today!

Pleasing new entry in trilogy of whodunit mysteries

"Who Killed Mona Lisa" is the latest offering from Carole Bugge, and it is no less satisfying than her previous two books, "Who Killed Blanche DuBois" and "Who Killed Dorian Gray?" This time, Claire and Meredith are visiting an historic New England inn for Thanksgiving when a storm leaves them stranded. And if that's not bad enough, there's a murder. And then another death... Filled with suspense and excellent plotting, this book is definitely a worthy addition to an already enjoyable series.
