Journal Entry 1 by dancing-dog from Cordova, Tennessee USA on Sunday, August 02, 2009
from amazon.com: It's 1964 in groovy New York City and there's only one man Bebe Bennett can think about besides dreamy secret agents like James Bond - her dreamy boss at the Merryweather Toy Shoppe on Fifth Avenue, Bradley Williams. But when the shop's mascot, Mr. Skidoo the clown, turns up dead with a toy sword plunged into his chest, Bebe has to use her latest sleuthing skills culled from the new Bond movies and her fave show, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., to catch a clown killer, save the store, and win Bradley's heart. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I think this is book 3 in the series although not having read the first two, I had no problem picking this one up. A little silly but fun, the main character Bebe is more like a young, naive and slightly inept Girl from U.N.C.L.E. than a female James Bond. Love the 60s setting and references (like her killer go-go boots) but didn't really care for the ending too much. My original copy of this book was mailed to Elsi Apr 17th as her win in the Bookobsessed Cozy Mystery ALS however it appears to have gotten waylaid somewhere between the post office and her house as it has never arrived. This is a replacement copy as I really do hate it when someone does not get a book! :)
