Nonsense on Woodhouse Avenue — Bob Garland

In Nonsense on Woodhouse Avenue, we again join our intrepid friends, the diffident, sexagenarian bookkeeper Humboldt Prior and the stylish, hard-charging TV news anchorwoman Penelope Rote, as they battle to thwart a series of nonsensical political campaign plots and ridiculous inspirational finance shenanigans. Scheming business associates, inept news directors, miss-motivated motivational speakers, and incompetent corrupt lobbyists abound as the unlikely team successfully leads us with laughter through absurd trials and tribulations. Laugh out loud, again, at the Nonsense on Woodhouse Avenue, $14.95 U.S. Mary Ann Grossmann's Saint Paul Pioneer Press reviews of the previous books of this series included “this gentle, still-in-print mystery” and “there's an old-fashioned charm to this story” (Woodhouse Avenue Follies) and more recently “The charming, quirky series will appeal to those who appreciate understated adventure with a likable protagonist” (Antics on Woodhouse Avenue).
