I don’t know what to say about the dialogue. My husband said it was as though the author was trying to increase the readers vocabulary. Silly.

Early Bird Book Deal | When you sit down with a Charlotte MacLeod book, you have to be prepared for the absurdity, and it's been awhile since I last read her. | A little worse than most of hers, just because she threw in extra characters speaking in ridiculous flowery language. Just one or two is part of the silliness, but this went beyond.Another zany contribution to the mystery genre, this one has many things to recommend it, not least of which being Arethusa's incredible cortege of beaus, her reaction to "Thusie" and the dead tarantula, Osbert's Dangerous Dan McGrew play, and the wonderful way the neighbors all pitch in wherever and whenever needed. I loved Daniel and Andy's roles, although I could easily see where it was headed. I was beginning to feel sorry for Andy, because I was pretty sure his cause was hopeless, so this

Dittany and the other garden club members (with the help of Dittany's writer-husband Osbert) go all in to win a play contest. They must write an original play, do all the scenery and costumes, and put it on in a very short time, but of course Lobelia Falls is up to the challenge. But when it comes to dealing with stink bombs, cobras and bullets substituted for blanks, Osbert and Sgt. MacVicar must take charge, and find out who is after the blood of the lawyer who's playing the hero.
This series is one of my favorites (I have them in paperback and now on my Kindle). They are so humorous. The mystery is good but it is the crazy characters that I love.
I usually don't write reviews of books whose author has passed away but the books by Charlotte MacLead/Alisa Craig are just so humorous that I think it should be mandatory that any author trying to write a humorous cozy mystery has read them all before they are able to have their book published.
i had a hard time getting through this book. It was written in dialect, romantic fiction dialect. The twist to find the criminal was clever. The cover says Charlotte MacLeod writing as Alisa Craig. I think this was a book from a mystery book club. It is not worth your time.
