" 町田さんは本当に人の嫌な部分を書くのがうま過ぎる。読んでてお腹がキューっとなるくらい、傷つく言葉とかその時の空気とかが伝わってくる。だからこそなのか、人の優くて少し変で愛らしい部分を感じる事ができて、読んでいると癒されて幸せな気分になる。私がペットボトルを渡したい人は、本当に渡したい人は誰なのかちゃんと考えてみたい...."

" 今回はいい人だったPKと言うハンナの旦那さん、ロスの相棒が犠牲者です。もちろんハンナは探偵業に乗り出し、妹達やノーマンも活躍します。相変わらずハンナのお菓子に難癖つける人もなく、なにをしても好意的に取ってもらえて、今回はイベントに出店をしても出店料を取られないという高待遇。イラつきます。だけど私の大好きなノーマンがたくさん活躍したし、猫のモシェが可愛かったのと、久しぶりにアンドリアや夫のビルが活躍して楽しませてくれたので、読んでよかったなと思いました。あとラストが衝撃的。そうきたか。面白さが盛り返してきたので、飽きてしまった方ももう一度お試しください//....."
