A transitory novel in this really good series. Jonathan and Dick travel to New York to visit friends and Dick ends up with a case. It read like a travel log with a side dish of mystery. Not the worst but not the best of the series. Unlike other novels in the series this one had red herrings that ended up not being so red.

Jonathan and Dick are still very cute and cuddly. One of the best things about the series. Looking forward to the next novel. ( )

A New York vacation takes a sudden turn when he is hired to find who murdered the lead in an about-to-open play. A large cast of suspects and several schools of red herrings keep the reader on the edge of his/her seat until the end.
