enjoyed book shoeing women have braind,smarts to be PI or whatever they have a mind to be, Adding a littleb romance along away doesn' t hurt either, Solving rhe problrm with a twist made interesting,

This is a very enjoyable read, and I especially liked that I could not figure out everything in advance. It is nicely written and well thought out, I like the characters and it just works. My only complaint is that the story includes guns, something I am banishing from my television and book reading world these days. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it is well written and interesting in a genre that is often full of poorly written stories and gratuitous romances, this is a refreshing and fun read.

I wanted to like this book and characters, but the storyline was choppy and the grammatical errors distracting. I felt the info on the characters was fed to me in an unpolished way, as if I was a child who couldn't understand if they had been added over the normal course of the story. I never knew when the villain/hero was converted to a good guy.. so as I said, too many gaps.

Forbes' first book in another mystery series is a welcome read to continue the journey in Daytona Beach. Elizabeth Stitchway is an interesting and likeable main character. Forbes sets each scene with great detail so that the reader experiences the neighborhoods and feels part of the story. Another suspenseful story to keep you wanting more!

The plot was ok, but nothing terribly exciting. I would have given three or four stars if not for the grammatical, spelling, and punctuation mistakes throughout. It really interrupted the flow of the story for me. The author also uses gimmicks like having the characters talk to themselves out loud (and by themselves) to try to add pieces of information to the story. Also, there seems to be a lot of added detail where it isn't needed, and missing detail where it would be useful.

The Mailbox. I was a little skeptical at first. But boy what a fun read. It has suspense, mystery, intrigue and laughs. Elizabeth is a bit quirky and that is really ok. She is fun and Joe thinks her amusing. I have finished book 1 and didn't guess 'who dun it'. Will be reading book 2-Black Magic, An Arabian Stallion in a few days. Am sure it will be just as good. Thank you Mrs Forbes.
