The Fright of the Iguana
This is the fifth in a cute and cozy series, Linda O. Johnston has created the Kendra Ballantyne, Pet-Sitter Mystery Series, and as always this one is funny and intense. Kendra may be a lawyer but when it comes to animals she focuses her attention on keeping them safe. Kendra's fast thinking, witty comebacks and a cast of cute animals and characters make this an enjoyable read. This reader's biggest problem with this mystery was the amount of romance. Kendra spends a lot of time trying to stay out of the arms of both Jeff and her vet, Tom. This left this reader feeling like this one might be a cross-over into the romance field.

The Mystery of the Secret Room
The third in the mystery series is where Fatty really begins to take detective work seriously. The focus of the first six chapters is Fatty spending all his pocket money on disguises: a couple of wigs, several pairs of stick-on eyebrows, false teeth, some makeup, and a cap. Naturally Fatty tries out a disguise on the other Find-Outers, and completely fools them with his "frightful French boy" act.
