Oh boy, another book desperately full of name droppings around Victoria. 🙄

I know it’s aimed at middle schoolers but there’s some pretty dangerous information in here already - aiming his boat at the caravan to try and slide under it? Then jumping from the boat to swim ashore to outswim a badguy in these cold waters? Again, I say 🙄

Oh dear, I hope even a Liz Austen mystery doesn't stay contrived and stretched. These are usually Eric Wilson's truly good ones. As far as I know, this is his penultimate. I only need to procure "Red River Ransom" (which oddly does not refer to Winnipeg's well-known body of water). Then it seems I will have read this children's author's whole suite. This present mystery finishes the last of novels I already own.

liking it! Eric Wilson's novels are one of those books that are technically middle grade, but are truly timeless. EG, The Hobbit, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, etc
