Review: Cute stories, not a great plot

Although the characters are lively and interesting, the plot has some holes that aren't resolved in the ending, which felt a little rushed. It could also use a proofreader, but there's nothing too egregious. I'll read the next one; it's good enough to keep going but not something I'd rave about.Edit: I enjoyed the second story more, perhaps because I was getting to know the characters better. But the plot has the same kinds of secondary characters and elements as the first story--a child returning to town all grown up, someone paid for a job he didn't do, the immediate red herring, etc.
