I don't know which of the Barton series I enjoyed more - this one or their Florida adventure. I would suggest that Johns stops introducing non-existent characters on a constant basis, let the reader be aware of them, in case they appear in a future book, but don't rub them in for 'word-count fill'.Can't quite fathom how Anna was removed from the house - forcibly - with Agnes sleeping on the sofa - unless there was a no resignation and Agnes got her bed back.I also didn't care for the brief mention of Agnes's rebuilt home. It's simply there - new homes take time to develop their personalities through the love of their owners - but, in this case, it was an afterthought, with no cohesion to the story.And the jewels that Timothy stole- were they all returned?One thing, as a former proofreader - please, PLEASE .  .  . Throughout all this series - the grammar and typos are grim.  They really crimp a potentially entertaining story.
