Crime and Carpetbags by Julie Berry

5.0

To be honest, this is a 4.5 stars. I kinda miss Mermeros, and the interaction has significantly reduced, however the new elements of the story more than made up for it.

WISHES AND WELLINGTONS kept me royally entertained and CRIME AND CARPETBAGS continued the enchanting story quite wonderfully. The characters are delightful, both the familiar and the new (the carpetbags!). There's plenty of action and mystery to keep the plot exciting. As always, Berry's prose is engaging, upbeat, humorous, and just fun. I love this series and can't wait for more.

If I could, I would give this book 4 1/2 stars; since I can't, I'm rounding up.

I loved it. It’s possibly even better than the first one. Looking forward to more adventures with Maeve, Tom, and Alice in the future!
