Review
I have yet to read a short story in recent years that has drawn me in and kept me wanting to read more. Maybe it was the fact that I started in the middle of the series or maybe it was the author's use of hyphenated words.The story was short, the poison was easily found along with the culprit. It was like an episode of Colombo. A kid version. Meaning it was a no brainer for adults but kids might..just might not figure it out. You knew who did it, it was just a matter of proving it.
It was an entertaining read for the whole 20 minutes it took to read it. I probably would pack the whole series in one book though.
