The Red Book of Primrose House

I was not a fan of the characters at first, but they grew on me. I enjoyed the entire story of Pru Parke and not just the mystery part. She and her friends are likable characters. This is book #2 in the series. However, I did not need to read #1 to understand this one. And it ended in such a way that #3 could show up just about anywhere. I can't wait to see where Pru goes next.
