These are cute little mysteries and quick reads. They are doubly amusing because they were written in the 90's so it's land lines and pay phones. Also, a side story line is the main character dealing with breast cancer and she gets into a clinical trial for tamoxifen which is one of the big drugs now a days so working in cancer diagnostics I'm finding it fascinating that it is making it's appearance in a novel written in the 90s.

it's an interesting experience, reading mysteries set in 1992/ish. This book and the previous one both brush upon the idea of racism, but they do so from a time and place that is alien to me, and I think less concerned with equality than now. likewise, this book's subplot deals with a girl who has bulimia, but seems to assume less familiarity with the topic than I think people have now.

A weird time to read this book. I really like this series and I think this is a great addition to it. I like the teen sidekick (sort of) and the element of the romantic. The fact that confederate enthusiasts and racist characters populate the book leave a bad taste in the mouth, but it’s clear our main characters are not like that.
