Ce roman est le 3e de la série "A Dixie Hemingway Mystery", qui raconte les aventures d'une gardienne d'animaux de compagnie de la Floride.

Bref, une lecture qui est légère sans être superficielle.

Adults try to protect children from the realities of death, even though children usually handle it as if it were no more mysterious than any of the other realities they're learning about.

There's something about laying things out so they all face the same way or lining them up in alphabetical order that makes super-organized people feel better.
