Mystery #34: Mary Anne and the Haunted Bookstore
I just read this book for the first time, and I really should jot down some of the snarky things I think when I read BSC books, because I can hardly remember any of them by the time I'm finished a book. The mystery wasn't stellar, but it wasn't completely ridiculous, either, and I liked the atmosphere of the book. I wanted to be hanging out with them at the bookstore, helping them get it ready for the opening. Because I am a dork.

About that "gravestone" in the basement. Ms. Spark says, "Larry isn't supposed to let anyone go down there until the police have finished looking at the area. Someone from the county will investigate when they find the time."

Were the police really planning to check out the gravestone, or is Ms. Spark just making this up? Because if they've actually convinced the police that they should investigate the gravestone, which is a hoax that Mr. Cates and Ms. Spark are behind, then I'm pretty sure that's illegal. Even if they didn't notify the police or anything, maybe somebody from the police department contacted them when the newspaper story mentioning the "gravestone" was published. What's up with that?
