3 stars.

Ok. The idea of this book was so interesting. I loved the Disney facts and Disney vibe happening. I sped through this book- wanting to know what happened. It was a fast read, and I did think it was a cute, fun, little mystery. I think for kids- this one could be fun.

However. There were many (6+) glaring typos throughout the book. I also noticed words missing from sentences (example: “the moment doesn’t long.”)
I’m not quite sure how this book made it to the shelves without these spelling/grammar issues being worked out. But I digress.

Additionally, it’s difficult to follow the descriptions of where characters are moving throughout the park. I felt like I needed a map to understand what was going on geographically.

Overall. I’m giving it 3 stars because I did enjoy it for what it was. It was a fun Disney mystery that was good enough for that purpose. Was it a top thriller read? Absolutely not. But I wouldn’t say I regretted reading this one.

An improvement

Definitely the best of this authors books, likely because it is fiction. A quick read it was pretty decent, but seems fishing for a sequel with him hearing his phone and ignoring it. I'll hand it to her though, didn't see that coming, though perhaps cast members might

Oh boy! (To be read in Mickey's voice). This book was exactly what I needed today. It took me back to my CM days in a way only a fellow former CM can. She even described my old break room. I have stars in my eyes... Or maybe they are tears.


No, it's not an excellent mystery story. You don't get enough clues to discover the killer before it is revealed to you. It's not like you could see it coming, cause you're not introduced to him or his motive till the very end. Still, I'm guessing anyone who goes for this book is not really interested in the plot; which, I might add, it not that bad at all. Although it could do with a bit of polishing


I only wish it was longer, it covered more locations within Disney property, it described more rides and their intricate backstage working. I'll be watching this author 'cause I definitely want more from her.
