This is a follow
up to “Who Could that be at this Hour”. Lemony is now apprenticed to a
detective who isn’t great at her job. They are investigating the disappearance
of a girl named Cleo. He starts to track her and keep s getting different
answers. Did she actually run away? Lemony starts to make some connections and
starts to investigate the evil Hangfire.
This is my first
Lemony Snicket book and I found I didn’t care for it. Its so whimsical that its
almost a farce. I kept getting jolted out of the story by stupid jokes. Like instead
of Whole foods, the author plays off it with Partial Foods. Because of this I just
had a hard time buying in and found I could care less about the outcome. This author
seems popular with children, I can't quite figure it out. So if it’s a demanded author at your library, by
all means add this book to your collection.
