Home Sweet Homicide

This really didn't do anything for me. It's more a domestic comedy than a mystery, about three overly precocious kids whose mother is a mystery novelist. It was breezily written and there was a murder to be solved, but most of the book is taken up with smart-alec dialogue and the kids putting one over on adults. Might have made an entertaining 1943 movie, but as a mystery novel it doesn't really cut it.
