I loved the blend of characters, scenarios presented, and the many crimes that are 'by the way' styled. George is a clever author and you forget you are reading a story, but, become involved in the action, somewhat like experiencing a play. Immy is determined to not end up a 70-yr old waitress in a small Texas town, Saltlick. Hortense lives with dignity, despite her circumstances and it shows all through every situation she encounters. Life is not easy for these Ladies but I loved the love they share. Immy lives with her baby, Nancy Drew, and her Mother, Hortense. That is a good ambition since Uncle Huey is murdered in the family owned 'Huey's Hash.' You get the sense that ever since she began to talk, read, and write, her rich imagination treasured all that spoke 'Mystery!' While her Mother speaks a Librarians' English, our new friend, Immy chooses to speak 'Gumshoe lingo.' Her dream is to become a Detective just like her beloved and well-missed, Daddy was. Imogene Duckworthy is truly a worthy sleuth of the amateur style.
