Who Could That Be At This Hour?

I turned to this book after a previously started read-aloud book for the kids proved to be too boring. This isn't boring although at times it can be a bit convoluted. It's a faux-autobiographical tale of a young Lemony Snicket who's apprenticed to a dim chaperone and tasked with solving a mystery. Many of the characters are amusing and the kids once again protested every time I declared I was done reading for the night. Always a good sign. This book is the first of four in a series and left some loose ends.
