Reviews

[Roseanne Wilkins · Rating 4 out of 5]

As usual, this is a travelogue. San Diego and its history are explored. There is also a little bit about Mexico. I like how Glenna Finley weaves details smoothly into her stories so that I feel like I learned something when I finish the book. I would rate this a five, but I was super annoyed when Nicola went on a tour of San Diego with someone other than her husband when he left on a fishing trip. It ended up being an important part of the story, but it still annoyed me. As usual, there was intrigue and danger and some comic relief with an animal. This time, it was an orange kitten named Ivan the terrible. It was all wrapped up nicely at the end.
