At first this book was boring, but I kept reading and I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome! Ginger had solved one mystery and she was back at it again and refused to heed her husband's or the police to not get involved, but of course she didn't listen. First there had been robberies in their neighborhood, then one woman had been attacked, and then another. Her neighbors were concerned about whether they should move especially when an old woman recluse refused to take control of the very high weeds. I liked that Ginger took care of the old woman as no one else had bother to show up, then Letty's money was stolen and the two hundred dollars was what she lived on. I never read the first two books, but I was not disappointed with book show more three. show less
