"Velda" First off, I should write that despite what you might think from looking at the cover, Velda is not an R-rated read. Quite the opposite; she is fun for adolescents as well as adults.

Second, I should say that I have never read anything quite like this book. The stories are entertaining and humorous. The most surprising aspect of the style is that the author seems to frequently lose interest in the mystery itself. This is a little disconcerting at first, but after the first time it happens I found I enjoyed it. These stories are lots of fun.

Finally, I found that the short story, which I have avoided my entire adult life, now attracts me. You can get a satisfying reading experience at the end of a long day in a small digestible bite. Maybe its old age, but I like that aspect of the Velda stories.

I highly recommend this book.
