Characters are way to chatty about nonsensical topics and make ridiculous leaps of logic. It's like evesdropping at a hair salon Won't make the mistake of picking up any others in the series. Editor should have been more brutal in corrections critiques.

Stick Not a very particularly well-written story. Stick with real classic mystery authors like Rex Stout and Agatha Christie! Mar 13, Lynn Demsky rated it it was amazing. And all the miniature puppies help in aiding and helping out the mess! Feb 15, C. Absolutely loved this book, hated for it to end. Twist and turns, chills and spills. The author kept me guessing and on the edge of my chair.

This is a must read book, uh series. Yes, I started with the last one. A mistake I'll rectify. May 28, Marion Hogervorst rated it it was ok. It's getting a bit boring. The cop-boyfriend who is over protective, we know that song by now. But it was not bad, not yet I'm so sorry this is the end of the series! Characters and plot were well done.

I enjoyed reading this book, and the author kept me guessing through to the very end as to who did the murder, but I must admit I found the sheer number of characters involved a little difficult to keep straight in my head. It didn't help that I was reading over the space of a few weeks, with reasonable size gaps between picking up the book due to other commitments, but I still tend to think that the sheer number of characters the majority of whom are members of a doll collector group meant that they were easy to confuse.

There were some minor editing errors, but nothing that couldn't be overlooked. The main character was entertaining and well-rounded, but I would have liked her to stand up a little more for herself in the relationship she had with her fiancee - despite having invested seven years in their relationship - Gretchen seemed bright enough to figure out that the guy was a loser and I did find her inability to dump him to the kerb was a bit annoying.

Gretchen Birch receives a frantic phone call in the early hours of the morning from her aunt in Arizona. She is told that her mother, Caroline, has gone missing and one of the neighbours has been found dead on the hill behind her mother's house.

Thinking that her aunt Nina's tendency to exaggerate and be dramatic might be at the bottom of this "crisis" she heads to Arizona anyway, to find out why her aunt is so worried. When she gets to her mother's house, Gretchen soon realises something is really wrong, especially when she finds that the only thing missing out of all of Caroline's personal belongings appears to be her car - even her toothbrush is still in the bathroom. What follows is a race to find out what really happened to the neighbour, Martha, who police now believe was murdered and as Caroline has become the chief suspect due to what appears to be an incriminating note found in Martha's hand, time is running out.

This story is really interesting in many ways. It takes the reader on a journey into the world of the Doll Trade and provides some great insight into the restoration, buying, selling and collecting of antique dolls of all kinds. The murder victim was obsessed with dolls which were like children to her.

She once had a extensive and highly valuable collection, but, due to her inability to stop buying more and more expensive pieces, she got in trouble with the bank and lost her home, her collection and ultimately became an alcoholic vagrant living on the streets with other people down on their luck.

In spite of the story being quite suspenseful and there being several possible suspects, it lost a lot of ground with me because of the numerous spelling and grammar mistakes throughout. It would have really benefitted from another edit. If you like a fairly decent murder mystery and are interested or would like to know more about the world of dolls, then this is the book for you.

This is the first book in the Gretchen Birch mysteries by Deb Baker, and sees Gretchen return to Phoenix after her Aunt Nina calls her and advises that her mom is missing. She lands in Phoenix and discovers more than just the mystery of her mother's disappearance. Someone has killed homeless Martha, and her mother is the prime suspect. Being a doll collector I was really interested in seeing what this series was all about.

I loved the mention of all the different kinds of dolls, and life as a doll collector and doll repairs and sales. The mystery wrapped me up quickly and I was trying to guess why Gretchen's mom, Caroline, was missing and also who wanted Martha dead. The author shows the mystery from not just Gretchen's point of view, but also from Caroline. I liked the way Deb Baker did this because you don't usually see the different point of views like that.
