Herringford and Watts Mysteries The Bachelor Girl's Guide to Murder: Volume 1, Book 1, (Paperback)

The school year is winding down and summer vacation is just around the corner… It's time to start getting serious about choosing your beach reads! Let me suggest that you add Rachel McMillan's The Bachelor Girl's Guide to your packing list. As main characters, Merinda Herringford and Jem Watts couldn't be more different. However, they complement each other very well. Merinda is an analytical thinker who doesn't mince words or let emotions cloud her judgement. Her refusal to be hindered by gender roles raises the ire of the Morality Squad as well as Jem's parents. They feel Merinda corrupts their genteel daughter and they stand opposed to their sleuthing. Regardless, the pair work in perfect tandem solving mysteries and righting wrongs committed against women and the less fortunate of Toronto. Their schemes routinely land the detective duo in precarious/humorous situations and keep them mere steps ahead of the Morality Squad. Fortunately for them, police constable Jasper Forth and Hogtown Herald reporter Ray DeLuca often come to their aid. Ray's chivalry will win the heart of any woman who reads this story. As for Jasper; time will tell… I think the author meant Ray and Jem to be in the spotlight, leaving plenty of room to expound upon Jasper's character as the series progresses. Possessing light-hearted, witty humor, and clever Sherlockian style sleuthing — The Bachelor Girl's Guide to Murder by Rachel McMillan is a FUN and entertaining read!
