Still on Herring Cove Road: Hickory, Dickory, Death — Michael Kroft

"I don't usually enjoy books in a series but this was an exception. It was uplifting, and interesting with some twists I didn't see coming...It wasn't all sweet and goody two shoes either. It had some dark and realistic moments and characters. Very well written." -(Amazon Customer)

The first murder of a child raised eyebrows; the second raised alarms.

Ten-year-old Dewey is moving, and he couldn't be more excited; though, he's alone in his enthusiasm. Lisa, his mother, and recently retired Avriel, his next-door neighbour and best buddy, don't share in his excitement regarding the move from their suburban bungalow to a dirty basement level apartment in the lower-class area, where two murders have recently occurred.

This sometimes lighthearted and at other times intense novel follows naive Dewey as he befriends two 'different' streetwise boys, learns the pros and cons of friendship and is then stalked by a killer preying on children.
