The Friday 56 #43 Jackaby by William Ritter

I'm reading a young adult historical paranormal mystery, "Jackaby", by William Ritter. The quote is from page 56  in the hardcover.


Mona's stance faltered. She looked briefly to Charlie and me, finding only equal bewilderment, and then back at the detective. He smiled at her again with charming, innocent curiosity. The left side of his face was red, and the outline of four dainty fingers were slowly gaining definition. He was behaving in precisely the manner in which a man who had just been walloped across the face should not behave.

      He's a bit clueless when it comes to social matters.

    So she smacked him. Sounds like he might get it again if his smile becomes a smirk. I've seen this book around lately. Must check it out.
