Synopsis:
When Elliott Lisbon
blends her directorship of the Ballantyne Foundation with her
PI-in-Training status by planning parties and performing discreet
inquiries for charitable patrons. But when the annual Wonderland Tea
Party makes everyone go mad as a hatter, Elli gets pulled into a
shooting, a swindle, and the hung for a Faberge egg.
My Thoughts:
While I enjoyed the plot and the locale of the book I found some of the characters to be annoying. I found myself wishing Elliot would just focus at times. I also thought the book tried to hard to be wacky and slapstick with all the predicaments Elliot got into. But overall I still enjoyed the book.
About the Author:
Kendel Lynn is a Southern California native who now parks her flip-flops
in Dallas, Texas. She read her first Alfred Hitchcock and the Three
Investigators at the age of seven and has loved mysteries ever since.
Her debut novel, Board Stiff, is an Agatha Award nominee for Best First
Novel. It features Elliott Lisbon, a mostly amateur sleuth who has a
slight aversion to all things germy and is only five thousand hours away
from getting her PI license. Along with writing and reading, Kendel
spends her time editing, designing, and figuring out ways to avoid the
gym but still eat cupcakes for dinner.
