Nancy first met Carter when she broke into her friend Gloria’s house by breaking the back window on the door — a result of Gloria’s pleas, of course. Why else would someone do something like that? Due to the fact that Carter was the new deputy in town, that meeting didn’t exactly go well. . .
The Sleuth’s Miscalculation probably falls under the category of “cozy mystery”. I appreciate that there was no murder, no gore, and no violence. Yet the mystery was compelling and as more information became available, it was obvious that it was more complex than anyone had originally anticipated.
Some elements of the story were hinted at but not really developed more. I would have enjoyed reading more about the balloon creations and how Carter got involved in making them as a child. I also thought that the issues surrounding the lie were a little bit vague.
