Reviews

[Linda · Rating 4 out of 5]

A mysterious old woman who looks like a witch but others claim is good, men who dress like women to rob poor widows, a creepy mansion in the snowy woods, a robbery on a train, and a missing chemistry formula- all these mysteries take Kay's attention in "The Double Disguise", book #16 in the series. The story is dated and sometimes the reader says "Huh?" but all in all, I enjoyed this book. Although I don't like snow, there are few series books set in snowy landscapes. There is deep snow in this story, although it doesn't seem to interfere with driving.
