I find his writing pretty witty and funny. And this particular book was nothing like other mysteries I have read. The amateur sleuth was prone to making mistakes, and ending was unexpected, but not in the way that you'd normally find deliciously satisfying.Dash it all", she was an unnecessary prop that wasn't given any depth of character or modicum of intellect and frankly, both Roger and Alex were downright mean to her.
