The Outsmarting of Criminals: A Mystery Introducing Miss Felicity Prim

By Steven Rigolosi

After being mugged in New York City, Miss Felicity Prim decides to leave the big city and purchase a home in the country, where she will be safe from the dangerous criminals who call New York home. A devoted reader of crime fiction, Miss Prim believes that her reading experiences have given her the skills required to become an amateur sleuth in her new home of Greenfield, Connecticut. She gets her chance to prove her mettle when she finds a corpse in her basement. As Miss Prim searches for the victim's identity and killer, she finds her father's old journals, which create a crisis in her family. Meanwhile, Miss Prim's young friend, Dolly, has become involved in a dangerous situation and needs Miss Prim's help. Can Miss Prim, with her insights into human behavior and her steadfast refusal to rely on forensics and databases (which she considers the crutches of lazy investigators), save the day and bring everything to a happy resolution? Of course she can.

Reviews for The Outsmarting of Criminals

[jessicareadsthings · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I thought this was going to be a new cozy mystery series that sort of pays homage to all the cozy mysteries that have come before, but it felt more like a send-up that really wants you to know how clever it is. Sooooo, nope! Cute cover though.
