Tricky Twenty-Two

I read this book and am using it for
14. A book you can finish in a day.

Not exactly a literary giant of a novel but I have read all of them since number one and felt that I had to. I used to read them as a break from the more serious novels I read. Although I think this may be my last one. As I get older they aren't as fun to read anymore.
