![]() A lot of it had the feel of kids making things up while playing: the secret passageways, the girls loving each other the instant they met (I quite liked that, though), Simon’s cave and his goose business, Mr. I loved where things went after Simon the goose boy helped Sylvia and Bonnie escape Miss Brisket, and I had to laugh at how quickly Miss Pattern (heh heh) whipped up clothing for the girls. Instead, I bumped up the speed and carried on. The behavior of the wolves was bananas (before they dropped out of the plot completely), the villains were extra villainous, and there was a point when I considered joining the grumpsters who disliked the book and wrote cranky reviews. This was a quick one on audio, read by the author’s daughter, Lizza Aiken, including a nice introduction about what the author and family were going through when she wrote the book. ![]() ![]() ![]() As they convene to discuss the case with the Yard's Sir Graham Forbes at a nightclub, they witness one of the performers die in the middle of her act before they have a chance to speak to her.
