I just love the Prudence Penderhause series!
So well written and fun, despite the seriousness of the storyline.
Another instalment that I didn’t want to end.... I hope R M Gilmore doesn’t make us wait too long for part number 3.

This is the second book in the Prudence Penderhaus series. It's not your daughter's YA, that's for sure. I don't mean there's sex, or anything a young adult shouldn't read. It's just different, in a good way. As soon as I feel my 10 year old is ready for this series, she'll be reading it.

I don't even know where to start with the review though. There is so much going on. Pru is recovering from her surgery, and still has treatments. Will she die? You never know with RM, she's tricked me before in a huge way. I don't know what will happen with Pru.

Cassius is still the "weird boy", but there is more to him than just his autism. But since he was locked away in his house for 19 years, he has to learn so much about social interactions. I love how he is written. It isn't in a mocking way, but in a way that brings out how amazing these kids can be if given the chance.

Plus we have the new neighbor at 19 Marigold. He is strange and what's found, then lost...

Can't wait for the next book. We still have the trial to go through and I'm sure more will pop up.

I know my daughter will love this when she's ready for it and I can't wait to share it with her.

R.M. Gilmore has excelled herself with the second installment of this incredible and witty young adult mystery novel.

With Prudence in recovery, she finds it impossible to kick back and heal. Not when Cassius is navigating the challenges of being free, and not when there appears to be another mystery to solve.

These two incredible characters are faced with more personal dilemmas, more than any young person should handle, but it's clear that together, they'll keep battling and refuse to fall into line like the corrupt want them to.

In an excellent coming-of-age novel, R.M. Gilmores tackles themes many young adults will relate to in a quick-witted and gripping tale of loyalty, friendship, and a budding romance.

Impossible to put down, 19 Marigold Lane is the perfect escapism for cozy mystery fans--for both teenagers and adults alike.

I really enjoy this series. The characters are so lovable and funny. The romance is both sweet and hot in its own way. The mysteries and suspense were intriguing. I just love it :)

Some favorite lines:

I hurt myself rolling my eyes at the eyebrow crew


Sometimes I wondered if my name was invented just so he could say it. (💕)


“I’ve been in since you said meet me on the porch.” (Pretty much all of Bonnie’s lines are gold)

I chose to read this book after receiving a free e-copy from the author. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.

I read 17 Marigold Lane and was looking forward to reading 19 Marigold Lane, the next book in the Prudence Penderhouse series. I like Pru and her neighbor Cassius and their acceptance of each other’s quirkiness. I especially like the way the author depicts Asperger syndrome in a realistic and relatable way.

Pru just had surgery to remove a tumor from under her arm and although she should be staying in bed and resting, she can’t help but worry about Cassius because he’s alone in his house. She still believes that she could die soon, so she has decided to do what she wants and to speak her mind. Some of the things that come out of her mouth are pretty funny.

She also feels the need to find something to prove that the sheriff is dirty. How is that possible when she’s fighting cancer? Not only that, but her mom is concerned about the way Pru is living her life. Rather than being supportive like she was in the last book, there is now a lot of friction between them.

Cassius keeps hearing strange sounds coming from the new neighbor at 19 Marigold Lane and he’s afraid. Everyone saw boxes being carried into the house but no one has seen anyone come in or out of the house since then. What is going on there?

19 Marigold Lane contains well-formed characters, loyal friends, hope, despair, mystery, and conflict. It was difficult to put down, and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

Prudence and the gang are back! Of course there is more mystery and more trouble for them to get into. I was pleased to see the same witty sarcastic banter that I’ve come to love from these characters. 19 Marigold Lane is a lively and enjoyable read. I can’t wait for the next one! I am definitely hooked on this series. I give this 4 stars.
