An extra star for the excellent Saint Nick trap. Read and learn, Bob Howard! ;-)

Really, my only complaint with this series is, here we are the 4th book in the series & she's still only 11. I mean, come on! 4+ murders in less the 8 or 9 months in a some small hamlet in 1950? That is a lot to ask.

That being said I this was one of the more enjoyable of the series.
