The Monkey Island Murder: A Sparky of Bunker Hill Mystery (Sparky of Bunker Hill Mystery Series) by Rosalind Barden – Review by Anantha Rusum

The Monkey Island Murder: A Sparky of Bunker Hill Mystery by Rosalind Barden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I picked up this book thinking it is a easy read but was surprised to see the richness of the setting and the twists and turns in it . Eleven year old Sparky is supposed to be at school but when her boss gets entrapped in a murder case , she simply cannot let things be . When she sets out to solve the mystery one thing leads to another , and there is mayhem everywhere . Set in the depression era , this historic cozy mystery in Los Angeles has vivid descriptions of the societal norms and practices prevalent in those times . The characters are quirky and storyline is complex. Overall a very enjoyable read .
