I would vote for Myrtle

I would vote for Myrtle because she can get things done like no one else can. It's also why I LOVED this book. I think it might be my favourite so far but then again there have been so many good book in this series it's hard to tell. The mystery was good and I was just beginning to have my suspicions of who was responsible when things came to a dramatic conclusion. There was a lot going on and seeing as Myrtle is an octogenarian it moved at a fast pace, with me chuckling the whole way. This book sees Wanda the psychic moving in with Myrtle, which is just the start of the fun and games. Wanda is such a great character it was fun to have her more featured in the book, she is almost as good a sidekick as Miles. This doesn't mean the regular cast of characters we have come to love over the course of the series are missing because they are all there to lend a hand or paw like Pasha the cat, grumble like Pudding or tell her to stay out of the case like Red. They are so many great characters all with there own little quirks that I would be here all day typing. So I will just say sit back and enjoy the fun, while you wait for the next book.
A throw away comment from Miles has Myrtle pondering running in the local elections. The town council meetings are a joke, with them all acting as children. Myrtle decides to show them up by running and then dropping out when they have learnt there lesson. When Erma hears her plan to run, she adds her name to the ballot too. With three candidates running things heat up, especially as the night after a lively debate one of the candidates is found dead. With just Erma and Myrtle in the running, she not only has to find a new candidate but also a killer. At the same time Wanda braves the long walk and heat to warn Myrtle she is in danger. Once Myrtle discovers she has no electricity in her home she offers to let her stay with her because catching a killer with a psychic on your side is easy. Then another body is discovered and things get complicated. Can Myrtle, Miles and Wanda find the killer before anybody else is hurt? And what will happen with the elections?
I like the narrator. She has read a few of the Myrtle Clover mysteries and she is the voice I associate with Myrtle and the gang. She makes an entertaining story even more so, If that is possible.
