A thrilling tale; both a intriguing mystery plot and a powerful subplot of relatable teen life

This is the third book in a great mystery series and just as good as the previous two. In this one, our favourite detective Eddie goes to America to meet her grandad who has a shocking secret about the family. I love the way it is written because it has the depth of teen fiction but also the classic mystery tale. I really like the main character Eddie and her brother because they are relatable, fun characters. It is perfect for anyone who wants a fast paced, intriguing and a very clever plot....

Edie is only 13 and she gets into all sorts of fixes, that she is luckily able to get out of.... Read Full Review
