Bad Neighbors by Maia Chance

5.0

I want to live in Naneda and be friends with Agnes and Chester. The dialogue is pithy and I would be in tears everyday from the continuous laughing. Maia Chance gives all the characters, not just Agnes, great one liners. The blatant sleuthing of Agnes and Effie is wonderfully agreeable. Instead of accepting that it's normal for an everyday person to ask probing questions, Agnes and Effie are questioned back by the suspects and instead of getting away with sneaking around they get caught. This is all very refreshing. The cast of characters and the situations they get into are so funny; I cannot give enough praise to the hilariousness of this book. This is at the top of my favorite murder mysteries I have read this year, right up there with Craig Johnson's Longmire series. The reader will enjoy tagging along with the gaggle as they solve the murder.
