Even better than the first book. I love Spencer Quinn books because they have great plots, lots of witticisms, and his wide ranging knowledge. Mrs. Plansky is gutsy, intelligent, not ready to give into old age and a lot like I would like to be. There’s plenty of action in this and some really great characters. As usual Mrs. Plansky triumphs over everything thrown at her, including the doubting police who treat her like she’s batty.
