Fasten your seat belt. You're about to embark on the latest ride of the Sun City West roller-coaster, tilt-a-whirl express. Sophie/Phee would just as rather not hop aboard but, well, where her mother is involved she has trouble staying out of things. Just a hint, though. You might want to avoid the blue Mustang.
I absolutely adore this series. The authors, as usual, have done an excellent job serving up non-stop, often dizzying action and mad-cap schemes. Although the action is instigated by a murder by hydraulic lift -- don't ask, I'm not even going to attempt to explain the plot -- it also features a cursed doll, lots of breaking and entering, both physical and cyber -- again, don''t ask, though I do love Rolo and his payment plans -- and a water rescue, complete with slimy fish and bait, and, oh, yeah, Jay Leno is mentioned, too. You know he's an old car buff, right?
In other words, while my head was spinning at times, I loved every second of this book. It's a fun, wild ride that's full of laughs and eccentric characters (with even more eccentric ideas) you'll enjoy. Even Streetman, Phee's mother's dog, cranky and ill-behaved, not to mention impulsive, gets some fun scenes. Just remember if it ever comes up, he hates those red rain booties. Thanks #NetGalley and #BeyondThePage for this early peek at the roller-coaster ride that seems to surround Phee's life. I'm already looking forward to the next wild ride.
