Wonderful Stories!

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2021

I discovered Steve Higgs and his Patricia Fisher stories with the Cruise Ship Series, which you should read first.. Every story is delightful. Patricia Fisher is delightful. This series takes place mostly on land with Patricia Fisher's private detective company. It always amazes me that authors can think up so many wonderful plot lines and Steve Higgs does in spades! Each book is relatively short (around 160 pages each). Although I don't usually like short books because I feel there isn't enough room to develop the characters, the characters in these books are fully developed and you really like the heroes and heroines and really don't like the bad guys. Kudo to Steve Higgs for giving me so many hours of pleasure.

Not my genre, but I wanted some light reading and 20 books later I find myself hooked. Well done, Sir, well done. I've already recommended the series to a friend.

The characters were all good. I enjoyed them and how they worked together to solve the crimes. It was fairly fast pace and kept you reading. There was one thing I didn't like, it was the long drawn out descriptions of rooms and situations, but after the first few books ,I figured out how to read past the filler and get to the meat of the story. Good author.

Love this series.

This second set of Patricia Fisher mysteries did not disappoint! It has all the wacky characters and impossible situations that the first series had. Mrs. Fisher solves mysteries with some keen observation, some inventive intuition, and sometimes just plain dumb luck. It’s a great series for summer vacation reading.

As well as entertaining. How it all begins is a surprise, it only gets better. The cast of characters are definitely different. The history of each will keep you interested, in the way detective stories always do. Then laughing through so many of their antics.

Steve does it again in his second 10 book set. I couldn't put it down. I love all the interplay between the characters. I love that this series can take your breath away one minute and laughing until the tears start to roll because your laughing so hard. This whole series is enjoyable from beginning to end and I can't wait for more of Patricia's adventures.

Steve Higgs books have kept me engrossed over the past several weeks. I have found myself wanting to read rather than do anything else in my personal time, and even closing my eyes at night reliving scenes of his characters in my mind. He just makes the characters and places so vivid, yet diverse and relatable. This Patricia Fisher series was the second I read, following the Blue Moon series, and I have to admit, I was thinking it might be too much like "Murder She Wrote", but it was still fresh, engaging, and made me crave an around the world cruise for myself!! I could picture reading more of his humor while on vacation. Truly, I recommend these books to anyone needing a fresh alternative to the typical deeply cerebral murder mysteries often topping the charts. Please keep writing, Mr. Higgs! You have true talent!!

Another Winning Boxed Set

As in the first book of Patricia Fisher novels, this continued to be entertaining and completely enjoyable.

One thing I did appreciate was the better attention to proofing and punctuation. Not perfect, but greatly improved!

My main complaint with this author is his fixation on bladder control for Patricia. It's too over done. My other complaint is his breast/nipple fixation. I can see it with Barbie, but ... I doubt he's even aware of how overused this latter is.

All I all, well worth reading! You'll get your $$'s worth here!

Humour with Mystery

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 21, 2021

Enjoying the books from this author. Delightful writing style with humour and well developed characters. He seems to take the mundane experiences and turn them into mysteries with a twist. Delightful to read and follow the characters' entanglements and achievements.

Ten books of pleasure

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 17, 2021

Each book is so different except for the main characters. It’s amazing how Steve manages to write with such humour and brilliance. I can’t wait for another ten Patrica Fisher books although have some other of his books to read or now.

Easy to read, funny and enjoyable. I’ve now read both the box sets of Patricia Fisher and am now reading Albert Smith’s Culinary Capers - the first five books.
