Not a fan of mystery, I was trying this out to see what the genre could be like -- unfortunately it supported my dislikes. Regardless of my opinion of the book, the encouragement that this book provides young people interfering with dangerous situations and withholding evidence in serious investigations is unsettling.
Alice and Iris find themselves at the center of another mystery, when their classmate is found stabbed at Levy Castle where their school dance was hosted . At first it seems like a clear case, but as in the first book, they soon realize it's not so simple. As Alice and Iris parse out what happened that night, they also discover that this new incident may have ties to the death of a film star that occurred at Levy Castle a century prior. They are determined to uncover what really happened to their classmate no matter the danger or trouble that may occur. A great sequel that has an intriguing mystery and delves a little more into everyone's characters, with a focus on Iris and Alice's friendship. Readers of Agatha Christie and Maureen Johnson will like this one.
I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting Iris and Alice and their friends (and frenemies) during The Night in Question. Iris and Alice get involved with another case and find many loose ends to untangle before a final conclusion can be reached. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to be an early reader in exchange for my review. I hope we see this crew again soon.
I love love love the Agatha’s. This series is great for those that love Finlay Donavon. I hope for many more books in this series. Iris and Alice are the perfect combination that you wouldn’t think would work. They story flies by keeping you intrigued.
The second book in the Agatha series. This is a fun series with two teen girls solving mysteries. Very enjoyable!
Agatha and Iris are back and ready to solve another mystery. This time, a student at the Sadie Hawkins dance is attacked and another student is accused of the crime. While the police think it is an open and shut case, The Agathas know that there is more to the story. A great follow up to the first book, the characters are complex and interesting, and a whodunit that will keep you guessing until the end.
Two best friends, a love of Agatha Christie, and a new case to solve! Alice and Iris are at their annual school’s Sadie Hawkins dance set at the famous Levy Castle, known for one of it’s most infamous deaths, Mona Moody- a classic film star who died almost a century ago. While at the party Alice is convinced Mona’s death was not an accident and that there was a crime involved.. but before she can investigate further she walks literally into a new crime scene of a fellow classmate on the ground in a pool of blood and standing over her is Alice’s ex-best friend with a knife in her hand. In Castle Cove, you can’t depend on the police to solve the crime, in fact, they are notorious for not solving crime, and Alice and Iris are both determined to find out what truly happened to their classmate and how it connects to the mystery of Mona’s death. This was such a fun sequel to the first book, I loved how much Agatha Christie stuff we got in this one and the mystery was a fun one to read about. I really like the friendship between Iris and Alice, I loved that they are partners and that they are always down to solve a mystery together despite all the drama in their lives, from parents, school, to boy drama. This was a fun read and I honestly hope that the authors make a third book because these are so much fun to read and I am always excited to see what mysteries these girls solve next! This is the perfect book for fans of mystery and Agatha Christie!
*Thanks Netgalley and Random House Children's, Delacorte Press for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*
A serviceable sequel, but not better than the first book in my opinion. I still liked the characters and the mystery was totally readable. I'd gladly recommend it to those who are looking for a fun young adult book.
Heart pounding thriller that left me on the edge of my seat. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one. Definitely one of the best books this year.
