Alphabet Songs (Letterland) - Fiona Pritchard

Advantages: Strong debut private detective novel.
Disadvantages: The characters could have been developed more fully.

Advantages: an easy read!
Disadvantages: not written in the same style as the other books

...i have read many of Fiona Walkers books and not been able to put them down, however i felt this book was written in a different style and i didnt enjoy it as much as the others, it was an easy read, funny in places, and an ok story line but it didnt have me turning the pages waiting to see what happened next like the others :( . If i remember correctly this was the first book that Fionsa wrote which is maybe why it is different to the others.......... i was dissapointed with this particular book and if this was the first Fiona Walker book i had read i wouldnt have seeked her out again.............. lucky it wasnt?!!!! p.s ....................... !! i didnt like the book as it was written in a diary format....
