Nell receives a phone call from the head of a children's hands on museum Let's Play, to come and have a preview of a new exhibit. The exhibit is comprised on characters from a successful children's series. If the children touch the Harriet the the Hedgehog or Willie the Weasel the character would interact with the children. In a trial run a worker is shocked when he touches Willie and the next day another worker receives a shock that kills him. Needless to say this could also kill the museum.

So Nell starts to look into the situation with the help of her friendly FBI agent, James Morrison. This is a very exciting story with an insightful look into the behind the scenes running of a museum. Interesting characters who are easy to like make this books a great read.

Nell Pratt is settling into her new job as the President of the historical museum when, while visiting another institution, she is witness to an electrical accident that portends another that turns fatal. Worried that the bad publicity will reflect on all museums, she sets out to uncover how it happened and why. I liked this mystery mainly because of the characters - the additional individuals who were introduced to fill out Nell's staff were funny and entertaining while helping with the storyline as well as the story specific characters being interesting even though they were a bit stereotypical at times. I think that overall, the plot was weak but because of the strength of the characters the story moved along at a good pace and entertained the reader. I hope that the next one has a bit stronger plot. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

I'm going to say if you're reading the series, you can likely skip this one and continue just fine. There are new hires at the Preservation Society and little movement on Nell's relationship with James so you're not missing anything that'll prevent understanding future books. I'll definitely read the next in the series. ( )
