I loved how the Grandma Gang was included in the story! And those mystery-solving skills of theirs were precisely on point! Mary Grace included! Have you ever solved a mystery like the Grandma Gang?!

I wish there was, but none like the mystery solved by Grandma Gang. I was amazed when I found out who stole those chocolates. Who could have imagined, if not for the Grandma Gang discussing and pondering over the choice of stolen confectionary.

Unfortunately, I am not good at solving mysteries, so I haven't solved a mystery in my whole life yet. :D :lol2: :P

Unfortunately I am not so good at cracking puzzles or solving mysteries so I cannot say that I have ever been able to solve any of such kind of mysteries before. However, I greatly enjoyed how they displayed their tact and skill in solving the stolen confectionary.

I did not have the slightest idea! My brain was focused on the idea of young children raiding the shop for sweets... :happy-bouncymulticolor:

As they say, practice makes perfect! The Grandma Gang is really incredible though. I would love to read the rest of the books in the series :techie-studyinggray:

I don't think I solve anything like the Grandma Gang. Being a medical doctor, I did investigation to determined my patient illness, but I don't think it is the same with solving a crime.

When I was little, I noticed that Santa's handwriting matched my mom's. Of course, I had already been told by my classmates that he wasn't real, but I found the proof! :lol:

I think I did once - my auntie told me once in strict confidence that at night when we all went to sleep, my mum, her elder sis, was hunting and eating the Martians who lived under the couch in the lounge. And my aunt told me that if I did not believe her, I could find out for myself. But the Martians were not visible during the daytime, they could be only found at night. Back home, the first night before going to sleep I thoroughly looked under the couch but could find no Martians. I looked again and again for about a week until my mum wondered why I was looking under the couch every night. So I told her that I was looking for the Martians! My mum instantly touched my forehead for signs of fever and asked if I was ok. And I said yes, just wanted to catch a Martian for her snack! Mum was dumbfounded - "What?!?!" Then I told her the auntie's story. Eventually, my auntie survived my mum's grill of course.... :)

Unfortunately I never solved such mysteries. I wished I was able to solve mysteries as shown in many books. I believe it's an incredible talent.

No, I have not had such an opportunity. However, the grandma gang part of the story was indeed the most captivating. Even though, Mary had to join the gang to solve the mystery.
