A brief description from the website:Geraldine Porter, a recently retired high school English teacher in a small northern California town, has more time now to spend on her lifelong hobby — building dollhouses and miniature scenes.
You'd think the world of tiny country cottages and cozy room boxes would be trouble-free. Not so for Geraldine and Maddie, her 10-year-old granddaughter, visiting Lincoln Point for the summer. Even before the doors open to the crafts fair that Geraldine has organized, there's a snag in the program. Geraldine's friend and fellow crafter, Linda, has failed to appear at her post. Also missing is the last piece of furniture Linda painstakingly built, a miniature Governor Winthrop slant-top desk.
By the time the week is over, Geraldine and Maddie have dealt with robbery, fraud, and murder, all wrapped up in the world of the very small.

My Thoughts on the Book:
I found that the story unfolded very slowly however the characters make the story worthwhile and I find Gerry's switch between the tiny and the regular size world interesting. In general it was a very interesting mystery and I will defiantly start the second book in the series.
My favorite Character:
I loved Gerry's grand-daughter Maddie. She seems to have an innocent view on everything tat goes on. She is most interest in showing her Uncle Skip that she could also be a detective like him. She is well rounded and really helps with making Gerry's character who she is in the story.
