Every Crooked Nanny by Kathy Hogan Trocheck

3.0

I'm still on the search for a new "cozy" mystery series to sink my teeth into, but in the mean time, this is a good "Light and Fluffy" summer read for me. Although I liked this story well enough, I can't say the characters made all that much of an impression on me. Although I think a maid/private detective makes a perverse kind of sense. Maids see everything.

This is the second "fur vault" I have encountered this month. Read my review of [b:B is for Burglar|64865|B is for Burglar (Kinsey Millhone, #2)|Sue Grafton|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1390789165l/64865._SY75_.jpg|1963457][b:B is for Burglar|64865|B is for Burglar (Kinsey Millhone, #2)|Sue Grafton|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1390789165l/64865._SY75_.jpg|1963457] to see what that means!

I'm having some ambivalent feelings about this story line. the plot seemed unnecessarily convoluted with several red herrings thrown in for good measure. When the killer was revealed it seemed very random, that was a bit of a turn off for me. I might read another book in this series, but I don't think I will be in any hurry. I really wish I could give this thing 2.5 stars. It's better than "ok" but I'm not really sure I'm ready to commit to as strong a word as "like."
