Not really a mystery. I wished it gave a little history about Jamie's parents.
無料本たまったkindle本棚をスッキリさせようとしばし短編選んで読む事に。とりあえずわんこ活躍本Dandy Detects読了。ちょっと昔のサンフランシスコの下宿屋に集まった人達とわんこの話。ミステリーとしては予測通りの結末でした。でもってArchived Itemsへ。

A short story that features one of the boarders in Annie Fuller's boarding house. Not a particularly difficult mystery, but the story allows the reader to get to know the secondary characters of the San Francisco Victorian mystery series better without un-necessarily cluttering up the plot of a full length novel. When I pick up the next book in this series, I'll know Barbara and her son Jaime that little bit better.
