Laura Levine liked Lisbeth Mizula's review of The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 3/4 (Adrian Mole, #1): "I kept laughing and telling my husband, "I have to read you just this one paragraph" until he finally told me "You know I'm trying to read something of my own over here." It was hilarious -- the place I prefer to live when given a choice. "

I’ve always been a fan of Richard Jordan’s Polly Pepper Mysteries, and his latest, in my humble op, is his best yet. Very cute tale of an over-the-top Hollywood icon who solves a murder in a quaint English village. A fast, funny read!
