Takes two popular attributes of detective leads and combines them into one: this sleuth is both bumbling and unendearing.
nicolepeck's review against another edition

I almost went with a 3 on this one because I struggled through most of it, more so than some of the others in the series that I struggled with. Sadie was annoying again, and I didn't connect with any of what was going on. Even being adopted and having found my birth mother, I struggled to connect with that aspect of the story as well. However, being a sap, the ending totally redeemed the book for me. I loved the 2 surprises (1 expected, 1 not) that happened. The recipes were also a bit of a let-down in this book for me -- there just weren't as many that appealed to me. They sound good, but I just won't make a bunch of salmon recipes (although the chowder at the end I will, it sounds fab!). So, overall, not my favorite of the series but still worth the read.
