This felt very quick. I don’t feel as satisfied with the storyline.

pretty good!

I enjoyed seeing my friend Joddy again and a pleasure to meet his brother Paddy. I only wish it were longer!

This is just so-so. Not long enough to really develop much characterization or story, and the break in the case comes via a very coincidental meeting. If Springer wants to keep going down the route of short episodes, she might think about doing something along the lines of [a:Donald J. Sobol|9152|Donald J.

A tiny litle fic-let, but also a glimpse into Enola's life with the game-changing events that happened at the end of the previous book, The Case of the Gypsy Goodbye.

This wasn't necessary. I don't feel it added to the Enola lore. She seemed almost too harsh and judgmental with the boys. I didn't like it.
