I liked this "Murder, she wrote" volume by Jessica Fletcher and her co-author. The writing is very good and the plot is alright.

In many many cases the "Origins" are absent and instead, suppositions offered, often mistaken. Examples: "Cat got your tongue?"is synonym of "Did you swallow your tongue ?" The Origin is: when people get frightened, now or in in the centuries ago, they lost their ability to speak; and Not because the "cat" got their tongue...Other phrase is: "Catch more flies with honey than with vinegar" , because honey is sweet and sticky and not only insects like flies and etc. like the taste of it, but stay in it, since honey is gooey and sticky substance. And such samples are abound, unfortunately. So I wouldn't recommend this.

I completely agree with the previous reader: incompetent, angry and totally biased story. I do not recommend it even to Democratic readers-the account will confuse them only.

I have finished reading the "Suspects" in three days. And enjoyed it. It's a mystery/love story of a wealthy woman and a top echelon CIA detective who saves her from the mob, set to rob and kill her... The writing is perfect, if at times repetitive. And at the end of the book-the heroine sounds too patronizing, controlling even to her lover -the CIA agent, who saved her life and wants to build a special security system for her. But she offers to "hire" him, instead, as one of her workers to pay him a salary...even if in future they get married. That notion of her had a bad aftertaste for me.

This was non- impressive, commercialized read to me. Like "Much ado about nothing". Also, text had too much slang in it and was not was not eloquently written. I usually like stories by Carolyn Keene, but not this time. Besides, the book missed good illustrations. I would not recommend this particular item: "A NANCY DREW CHRISTMAS" to anyone.
