Customer Reviews

A fun book.

I read this book years ago and am still waiting for the next two! This is a really cute book, I like the characters, it moves along well and the heroine isn't an idiot. She seems like a normal teenager. Many teen books are too sickly sweet but this one is not. It is fun to read and I hope there are more to come in this series.

Dead Man's Confession By Cass Lewis

Will Shelly Holmes follow her father's footsteps?Of course, everybody knows her father,the great detective R. Sherlock Holmes. Will Shelly go into a detective career or will she take photography instead? She loves both detective work and photogaphy! But which one will she do? This is a great book if you love mystery like I do. It was a great page turning book! It was so good I couldn't stop reading it until the end! It was a great book and plan on reading Case #2! I hope it's as good as Case #1!

Engaging frolick that leaves you wanting more.

While the quality of the story is diluted by the fact that the author probably attempts to create too much background and too many characters for a book of that size (probably because of serial nature of the book), this is a fun little book. It reminds me of the Trixie Belden series in tone. While it wasn't perfect, I walked away from it wanting the next book, I think that is the highest compliment one can give a serial. The things I thought were problematic: Shelly's teen romance, her niceness with regard to her brother, some of her relationships with her friends.
