The Book Review Crew on Mrs. Plansky Goes Rogue:
“A couple of summers ago, I read and loved Mrs. Plansky’s Revenge and knew back then there was going to be a sequel, and I couldn’t wait. Well, I am here to tell you it was worth the wait. Spencer Quinn has returned with another delightful book in his cozy mystery series. In her second adventure, 70-something widow and the most unlikely detective Loretta Plansky once again shows us that age is just a number and she is still as bold and as feisty as ever.
Quinn’s writing is charming, and he easily blends cozy mystery tension with wit and humour. He writes Mrs. Plansky as a compelling character who is very human, flaws and all. She also has a mind of her own and keeps the cobwebs away by doing crossword puzzles. I love her attitude and lack of patience for nonsense. She is smart and caring, and I cheered for her every step of the way.
The best part of the book is the fast pace. There are plenty of red herrings, and I was never bored. Loretta is 100% the star of the show, and she brings a unique perspective to the story. This is a lighthearted mystery, as most cozies are, but it is also very intelligently written, and it goes to show that not all heroes wear capes or are young; they’re just young at heart.”
