This is a great mixing of mystery and humor. A wonderful cozy mystery. If you are looking for a refined set of investigators, then this is not the book for you. If you are looking for more human investigators, then this is a great find for you. Lt. Dekker and Sgt. Murdock and a much smarter version of Ralph Cramdon and Ed on the Jackie Gleason show and about 2 steps down from Law and order. They know their stuff, but it is mixed in with the humor of their date life and the food that they eat. I have read at least half of the series and have never been disappointed.The story is well written, flows smoothly and is easy to understand. It is a fast read.The characters are well written and described. Dekker is more serious and smarter than Murdock, but you will love them both equally. Their girlfriends are a bit flakey, but they are a perfect match for them.Their girlfriends get them to attend the local craft fair. After awhile, our two detectives know they would have had to attend anyway because before the weekend is over, a murder has been committed.  The two detectives must look at all the possible suspects to see who had both motive and opportunity to kill this victim.This is a really good story. I do recommend it for ages 14 on up.
