The Popsicle Tree (Dick Hardesty Mysteries)
3,5 stars rounded out to 4 stars. It's a good, solid Dick Hardesty novel. An important one in the series since it's the turning point where Jonathan, Dirk become through life's tragedy a family over night.That road is not perfect and one of the strong part of the book is Dirk, Jonathan and Joshua navigating becoming a family. Kid!fic is never easy to pull off but Dorien Grey does it. The reader is pulled into the journey of the characters and how Hardesty's latest case mirrors his private life with very different outcome. The mystery is tight and plausible and you don't feel cheated at the reveal. Also Hardesty plays it like an adult/family man and the professional he is, which is to say he doesn't pull off an idiot's move hoping to be on top of the villain in the end. He plays is smart and it's refreshing to read.
