All sorts of fun things are happening in this one! Once again, I’ve gone backwards to a book earlier in the series… prior to Peabody’s rise to detective. In fact, this is the book where Dallas recommends that Peabody take the detectives exam.

And Summerset is off on a three-week vacation! Oops, wait… no he isn’t. Galahad, the trusty household cat, trips him on the stairs on the morning of his departure. A broken leg and wrenched shoulder later, Summerset is ensconced in his quarters with an unbearably perky nurse. Some hilarity ensues when Mavis and Trina show up for a “spa session.” Makes you feel sorry for poor Summerset, even if you don’t like him. (I generally do, but as we all know, Eve does not.)

And a shocking revelation rocks Roarke’s world… it turns out he has family left in Ireland. Not only family, but a large family. And most puzzling to Roarke, they don’t want anything from him. So now he has aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents. And a large portion of them come by for a visit in a later book.

What? Oh, the bad guy! Right. Definitely a head case, who will probably wind up in a mental facility rather than a cage.
