Critiques

I just reread this while going through older books to add them in. Some of it, like the siblings of some characters who were 60's children and the heroine bemoaning having to figure out how to cut and copy in a simple word doc feel very dated. Otherwise, it's a good story still. And in at least one regard, it was ahead of it's time (sometimes I think still ahead) : its realistic and sympathetic portrayal of women trying to decide where and how to draw the line with a creeper. Even though the 90's weren't that long ago, this was still a very rare thing to be seeing in a book. I know a lot of us, especially over a certain age, can identify all too well with Peggy as she's analyzing the stalker's behavior, and another character asks her "What are you, a connoisseur of perverts?" and she replies "No more than any other woman."… (plus d'informations)

An enjoyable cozy mystery. I really liked Peggy. There are references to her relationships I didn't get because I hadn't read the prior two books.

Last in the series, not my favorite one.

I didn't care for the ending of this book, not quite the whodunnit I was looking forward to.
