It’s more than three years since I read [[Midsummer Madness by Stella Whitelaw|Midsummer Madness]] but I remembered clearly that Stella Whitelaw could write and that she had a real talent for creating a compelling female heroine. She was just the thing for that night when sleep was evading me and I needed distraction. I did wonder if I was going to warm to Fancy - the Pink Pen Detective didn’t really sound like a series which would appeal to me - but Fancy is a realist. She knows what is going to appeal to her readers and she delivers on the promise. I took to her and despite occasionally getting rather cross with her when she took risks, I was with her all the way.
I wasn’t entirely convinced by the ending. I didn’t have an ‘’OF COURSE’’ ''OF COURSE'' moment, but rather a feeling that it might have worked out that way. It didn’t spoil a good read though and I’d like to thank the publishers for sending a copy along to the Bookbag.
If you’ve never encountered Stella Whitelaw before, do try [[Midsummer Madness by Stella Whitelaw|Midsummer Madness]].
