This was the third Cy Dekker mystery that I've read so obviously I'm not completely turned off by the series. I appreciate that it is clean, with no profanity. My one biggest problem with the continuing characterization of the Christian police lieutenant is that his behavior toward his unattractive next-door neighbor is anything but Christian. I get that she comes on to him and that he's not at all attracted to her. But I don't find his continual insults funny, even though the author seems to intend them for added humor. As for the plotting of this particular book, having the underground tunnels connecting all the houses on the street was certainly convenient for the story but I didn't find it believable. Also, I must have missed any explanation for why the tunnels were there, or how the area was ventilated. In short, this was a mediocre read. I'm just glad it was free.
