This book is about women in their 40's/50's who were college roommates. They get back together on a paddleboat traveling down the Mississippi River.
The novelty of the characters and the setting had worn off by this book (second in the series), and what was left was a pretty ordinary mystery. The business nature of the mystery even made it a little boring, and I'm not sure if that would hold the interest of the younger intended audience. They mystery is a little too easy for the characters to solve. Big clues fall out of people's pocket, people talk way too much were others can easily over hear them, and everyone seems clueless to Mary's identity - they believe her crazy cover stories. It did feel a little like a Nancy Drew mystery so maybe that's what it was going towards. James, Mary's sort of love interest, keeps showing up and in unusual ways, but nothing seems to come from their relationship. Overall, I though the story was okay, just not unique or overly exciting. I didn't have to finish the story, and I didn't really care that much about the outcome of the mystery.
really disappointing
