To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.
I loved this book! The characters just keep getting better, but I do wish one of the more recent ones would go away. I also love the recipes that are included in this series. I've had to change the way I do my reviews a bit because I no longer have a viable Kindle e-reader device. Instead, I use the app on my Kindle Fire 10 HD tablet. I wish the app had chapter demarcations. Chapter demarcations make it so much easier to see how close you are to the end of a chapter or to find a stopping place when you need to do so. The plot in this one is more complicated than it seems at first. I won't bore you with a plot summary as I know other reviewers are fond of dong that. if you liked the previous books in the series, I say you should give this one a shot because I don't think you'll be disappointed. Have at it! I can't wait for the next one.
Again, OUTSTANDING! The title and cover can be a bit misleading. This adventure begins on Halloween and moves forward. Loved revisiting Libby, Bernie and the entire cast, along with the former Peabody School. Please read A CATERED HALLOWEEN for the background of the School. Love, love this series!
Never underestimate the intelligence of birds. Alfred Hitchcock and Edgar Allen Poe used ravens and crows in their writings. That's a big hint for you. ........look to the birds.

In the past I always enjoyed all her books. Was disappointed with introduction of character Michelle. Time for someone to do a killing of her. She is an added nuisance Otherwise loved the book
