The Boy Next Door<\/a><\/em> (2017) Josh Lanyon<\/a><\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>Encyclopedia Brown grows up and wants to be a private detective for real.<\/p>\n

But his former sidekick is now the town sheriff who refuses to grant him his PI license.<\/p>\n

And the detective, his former sidekick, and his nemesis all went to school together.<\/p>\n

And I wasn\u2019t crazy about him either, especially after he started trying to deliberately run me down at recess with one of Room 4\u2019s tricycles. Play Time became a living hell for me until Isaac stepped in. But I digress.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For this one, the romance wasn’t bad, but the mystery was sorely lacking.<\/p>\n
