Strong Start; Weak Finish submitted by ekjensen on August 18, 2013, 10:48pm Enjoyed the first half of the book, especially, about the original Dick Van Dyke show...chapters transition nicely, but the book should have had an equally strong finish and description about Diagnosis for Murder, an even longer series for Mr Van Dyke.
