Someone to Watch Over Me (Grace & Favor Mysteries (Paperback))

Summary: A disappointing read this time
Review: The editorial reviews sum up the plot well, but don't say that most of the book has nothing to do with solving the murders. The whole bit about the editor's visit to Washington, the despressing discriptions of the government's treatment of the bonus marchers (some of them children) may appeal to history buffs, but had little to do with the crimes in upstate NY. Also the editor's involvement with one of the marchers,a young mother with two children had nothing at all to do with the murders. She was there in a wagon with a mule. I vaguely wondered about the historical accuracy of that. Would there be a mule pulled wagon on the highways between DC and NY in the 30's? But no matter - it was filler. I read another in this series earlier, In the Still of the Night, and enjoyed it, but will not seek out any more of them.

Summary: Is this a mystery?
Review: This book definitely lacks a substantial plot;it's not even a mystery at all.They solved the murder without any real clue.The murder was not an ingenious one;it looked as if it was done by a 3 year old kid.I almost laughed when they solved the "mystery".The dialouge falls flat,the characters are unreal and the murder was absolutely dumb.I am only 14 and i don't understand how adults can read this book.Jill Churchill cannot be compared to Agatha Christie,she still has a very long way to go.
