I enjoyed the first book in the series,
The Case of the Missing Books, more than I did this second installment. However,
Mr. Dixon Disappears does provide some laugh-out-loud moments. From London, Israel Armstrong is currently living in a rural area of Ireland serving as the bookmobile librarian. To say he is a fish out of water would be an understatement. Israel misunderstands and is misunderstood by the local residents, which often leads to those laugh-out-loud moments.
Reluctantly, he has gotten himself involved in another local mystery. While setting up his five-panel display of the history of Dixon and Pickering Department Store, he becomes entangled in a missing person case and ends up a suspect himself.
The book is a quick, light read, but don't expect any deep philosophical meanings or commentary on social issues. This one is purely for fun!
