This series continues to have so much going for it. Not only are the mysteries solvable and the line drawings a plus, but both the detective duo and readers benefit from the presence of Dash Marlowe, a private eye who corresponds with Milo and Jazz and offers brain teasers at the end of the book. Clever and fun. Booklist
