Author: Nicolete Meredith Stack a.k.a Kathryn Kenny
The book is fast paced with an adventure full of danger. Di is notably absent with an explanation she is holidaying for a month with her family. For the rest of The Bob Whites it's off to St Louis to see the sites including the old steamboats and the zoo.
Up to this point one would wonder what Trixie fans were talking about when they argue that Trixie is more suited to Dan as a partner than Jim. This is the first time since Dan's inclusion in The Bob Whites that he and Trixie are seen as having a lot in common. Dan who wants to be a policeman when he finishes school looks at a mystery in a similar way to Trixie where Jim is shown more as a Trixie supporter that rephrases his words to show his support where necessary. The author did the relationship between Jim and Trixie no favours here. The book makes you want to visit St Lois Zoo and go on the Mississippi River on a Steamboat which is what you want a good novel to do. Ratings: *****
