I haven't read all the Alphabet books, but have picked them up here and there over the years. They are, by default, the books my husband and I download for long road trips because they're straightforward mysteries that don't pull punches, are fun to listen to, and all tie up cleanly at the end.

This one was not as much fun as the others we've listened to. It rambled on about the irrigation problems of the neighbors and had so many loose ends that I had trouble keeping it all in line - and even more trouble caring about the case, which she wasn't even hired to do! I was disappointed, but it won't keep me from picking up others in the series. (We've never read any of them in order and don't have issues picking and choosing at random.)
