This mystery novel by MAC is about Anna Smudge, a junior high schooler . Anna has always been slow, but not stupid. She simply likes to take her time with things, so when her new guidance counselor gives her the idea of becoming a professional shrink, she tries on the idea before jumping at it. When her enemy, the school bully, Jacob Pierce, scatters her fancy, handmade business cards all around town, she has people with "issues" calling her at all hours with their problems, and to top it all off, one of her patients is an escaped hit-man for the infamous Mr. Who, a weakness for cannolis, and whose next and last hit is going to be Anna's father. Can Anna and her friends be able to figure out who 'Who' is? Or more importantly, can they stop the criminal mastermind and save Anna's father?
Opinion:
This book was well written with lots of action, and is one of the best mysteries I have ever read. It also had some underlying themes that aren't to be ignored, such as 'Be nice to your friends' and 'Listen to others.' The author, MAC, achieved a feeling of suspense, mystery, and humor throughout the whole book. I found this book interesting. The ending was alright,even though it had loose ends. It is the first in the series, so everything should be tied up in the other books. I would recommend this book to others because it was well written, thorough, and kept my attention the whole way through.
