We listened to Ellen Reilly narrate the story on audio CD, but unfortunately we weren't able to listen to it continuously and I really felt like I missed a good part of the plot. I think I will need to read the book as well.

Jan 2016 update: Reviewed the hardcover edition listed below to refresh my memory about the plot and characters before our local library children's book club meeting.

I really think I got a different feel for the characters by reading the book and I also learned about an embedded hidden message in Brett Helquist's illustrations. It was fun to examine the pictures more carefully to see if I could figure it out...

interesting quotes (from hardcover edition with ISBN13 9780439372947):

"If he asked his mom and dad, they'd probably tell him too much. That was the problem with being an only child: Your parents were always paying attention to you. He envied kids whose families forgot about them once in awhile." (p. 24)

"Picasso said that art is a lie, but a lie that tells the truth" ... Calder wondered what Picasso had meant. Was it that art wasn't exactly the real world, but it said something real?" (p. 36)

"The greatest art belongs to the world. Do not be intimidated by the experts. Trust your instincts. Do not be afraid to go against what you were taught, or what you were told to see or believe. Every person, every set of eyes, has the right to the truth." (p. 110)

"Looking and seeinga are two very different things." (p. 207) ...more

I've already read one other book in the series and figured I'd start the series from the beginning.

Overall, I think this is a fun, cozy read and certainly would appeal mainly to female mystery fans. I really enjoyed the Grace & Favor series by the same author, so I'm sure I will continue reading this series as well.

interesting quote:

"The most important thing she'd learned over the years was that there was no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one." (p. 1)

I liked it, although it was a bit slow-going at first with all of the transitions from plot to plot, past to present. I didn't know the characters and it was a bit confusing at first. But I forged on and finally caught up. It was an engaging story (at least once I got halfway through) and I was fascinated by the intertwined mysteries. The sideplot that involved the dolphin seemed to be a bit Carl Hiaasen-esque in its Floridian absurdity, but it was entertaining nonetheless. Overall, I enjoyed the story and I really liked the characters. I will look for more books in the Elizabeth MacPherson series of stories at my local library.

interesting quotes (page numbers from the hardcover edition with ISBN13 9780670038602):

"I think I had a narrow escape; a couple of years further into the eighties and I would probably have been sent into kiddie counseling and forced to share my feelings with hand puppets." (p. 54)

"Maybe she, like me, would have loved the tiny details and the inconveniences even more dearly than the wonders, because they are the things that prove you belong." (p. 72)

"This is Ireland; there's no such thing as a secret." (p. 173)

"It's not tradition, it's reverse evolution." (p.)
