About this audiobook

I should have asked the question "How could someone who was missing be in two places at once?" Instead, I asked the wrong question – four wrong questions, more or less. This is the account of the second.

In the fading town of Stain'd-by-the-Sea, young apprentice Lemony Snicket has a new case to solve when he and his chaperone are hired to find a missing girl. Is the girl a runaway? Or was she kidnapped? Was she seen last at the grocery store? Or could she have stopped at the diner? Is it really any of your business? These are All The Wrong Questions.

A Hachette Audio production.

"When Did You See Her Last?"
Author

Lemony Snicket

    "Lemony Snicket" has done it again. It constantly amazes me how this author threads this story together, with a fascinating mystery and brilliant writing. If I would use any words to describe it, it would be "witty" and "puzzling". It is a feat to resolve a books plot, without really resolving anything, and making that the selling point. It feels like one if those books, written so children can understand and enjoy them, but made so that adults too, can bask in the mystery. And also the tie in with "A Series of Unfortunate Events" makes me so giddy you have no idea. This sequel lives up to its predecessor perfectly and I cannot wait to figure out everything and nothing, in the next book.

    *I received a free copy of this book from the publisher.*I actually wasn't a huge fan of A Series of Unfortunate Events (I tried, guys -- I really, really tried!), so I was hesitant to pick this one up after a friend recommended the series. However, having read and loved Snicket's short story in Half-Minute Horrors, I decided to give this one a try.This is book 2 of Snicket's new series: All the Wrong Questions. While I haven't read book 1, I've never been a strict adherent of series order, so I read this one first anyway. Though I'm sure I missed some details, overall, I wasn't confused by what was going on in the book, which I count as a positive.Children's books are my favorite for being able to teach kids to use their own imaginations and think for themselves. This one is no different in showing how ridiculous adults can sometimes be (guilty!), and how children sometimes see things clearer than we can ever hope to. As an adult, I love this sort of wake-up call, and I know that the children in my life love reading stories where they can see themselves as the independent, intelligent savers-of-the-day."When Did You See Her Last?" is a cute, funny children's mystery with enough suspense and darkness to keep things interesting. The writing fun and playful -- Snicket's style in this book reminds me a lot of Roald Dahl, or a children's version of Jasper Fforde. Like all the best children's books, people of any age will be able to laugh at the humor in this. I certainly laughed aloud a few times, and my seven-year-old cousin was constantly giggling at the wordplay.Honestly, it's good enough that I'm considering re-reading the first few books of A Series of Unfortunate Events to see if my opinion has changed on them.Countdown until book 3: a little less than 6 months. Can't wait to see how this series develops!

    This is the first YA book I have read since i myself was a YA, about 45 years ago.
    It was a fun read, full of word play, gunnery, meaning twists, and word juxtapositions that made it fun to read. I smiled through it often, laughed occasionally, and enjoyed it throughout. I easily see why it is so popular about YA readers and book reviewers who like YA reading.
    The first book I can remember really reading thoroughly and enjoying was "Homer Price," a book I still remember fondly and probably the single most important book in my life in that it made me the voracious reader I am today. I can see where a book like "When Did You See Her Last?" would have the same impact on a young reader and I hope that it does make reading addicts of every youth who wonders through it.

    The second installment of All the Wrong Questions picks up in Stain’d-by-the-Sea with Lemony Snicket investigating a missing person's case, putatively with the help of his chaperon S. Theodora Markson. It continues to be a whimsical mix of mystery novel and humor. One thing that stands out is that other than Snicket as narrator, the major characters in this novel are all women, which is a refreshing change. I'm looking forward to the next installment.

    I liked this volume better than the first, though this early Snicket adventure doesn’t yet have the bizarre genius of A Series of Unfortunate Events. Snicket’s search for a missing genius scientist who’s inventing invisible ink takes him throughout the decaying seaside town he’s stuck in while his sister is all on her own in the city, after a very different but equally mysterious target. I still have no idea what’s going on, but that’s not really the point, as the presence of the statue of the Maltese Falcon—I mean, the Bombinating Beast—makes clear.
