About this book
This collection of sizzling summer sleuthing stories from 13 brilliant middle-grade writers is bound to grab and hold its reader’s attention from the outset.
Each story can be read as a standalone and the different authors offer a rich variety of themes, structures and styles, making this a perfect choice for dipping in and out during the summer holidays.
As with the first project from this collection of authors and editors, The Very Merry Murder Club, this title features mysteries from Abiola Bello, Annabelle Sami, Benjamin Dean, Dominique Valente, E.L. Norry, Elle McNicoll, Maisie Chan, Nizrana Farook, Patrice Lawrence, Roopa Farooki, Serena Patel and Sharna Jackson, as well as an additional story from co-editor Robin Stevens.
As its name suggests, each mystery takes place during the summer or features elements of this season. There is a great range of thrilling plotlines, including a sunflower-stealing thief and a “Berry Juicy Murder”, which will engage its audience.
The fast-paced nature of this short story collection makes it a good choice for readers who may have less appetite for longer novels during the holidays.
