recommended for: orphan triplets

One of my favorites in the series so far along with The Wide Window, this book worked extremely well. Of course it was still ridiculous and every adult in the book was infuriating, but that's the point. The Quagmire triplets were a charming addition to the cast, and Carmelita Spats was given far to little attention.

The story is picking up a more serial feel, adding to the main story arc rather than setting up individual mysteries in each installment. This speeds up the pace from book to book, if that makes any sense. I dunno, it's past my bedtime.
