It took me probably around 20 pages or so to get used to the style in which the book was written, as a series of letters to a sister abroad in the jungle. Once I got used to this, though, I was hooked. This book was absolutely charming, warm, funny and a great book to read to thoroughly relax and unwind at the end of the day. The characters were lovable and unique in their own quirky ways, I will be happily passing this to my friends/family to read and look forward to reading more books by Fran Smith.

Just finished reading. It's not a big book, not an epic story. It probably qualifies as a cosy mystery, well worth reading, if you are looking to lift your spirit.
Warm, nice and makes you believe there is still goodness in people. And funny - in a warm funny way, not sarcastic or dark. But - at the same time there are a real kidnapping, International Awards and Bishop dancing salsa on TV and - overall - a heap of nunpegs. :D
Highly recommended for these who are looking for a cozy afternoon read :D (You can decide to start with the first book, but I don't think it's importatant here)
