I was so excited to read the sequel to The Agathas. I was excited from where it had left off, and this did not disappoint at all. Alice and Iris are messy complex teenage girls who you root for the entire way through. It felt like Alice got her own emotional arc in this book where as the first one focused more on Iris and the situation with her father. I love the multi formats of these books, and the intertwining mysteries of Mona Moody and Kennedy were so well balanced between the two. You could tell as like the first one where the loving homage to things in the book were coming from, but those elements were still fleshed out enough to stand on their own. I would truly read a million books in this series, since it feels like a modern girl detective, Scooby Doo type story in all of the best ways. You can tell how much both of these coauthors love this genre and that gentle care comes through in every aspect of the story.

We were excited to get this in our library for all of our "Agathas" fans. Alice and Iris are back, bonding further over mystery solving, relying on their friend group, and stirring things up in their little elite town, Castle Cove. This time they are solving two cases at one time - something old and something new. Readers should start with Agathas 1 before they jump into #2, in my opinion. I thought this was another solid read from Glasgow and Lewis, and while I figured it out fairly early, most teens are probably not going to see it (or will second guess). The characters are fun and the writing makes it worth the read.
Thanks so much for the ARC!

I really adored the first book in this series. I thought it was well-written and mysterious and I rooted for the characters. It made me excited to continue the series. When I picked up this book, I was excited to be taken on a whirlwind journey back into this world but I could spot the killer from a mile away. I mean I truly think it was given away almost instantly. It sucked the joy out of reading this. Don't get me wrong I believe Glasgow and Lawson are wildly talented writers but I do believe the mystery of this one doesn't compare to the first in the Agathas series.

While I didn’t love this quite as deeply as I loved book one, I still am a huge fan of Kathleen Glasgow and Liz Lawson’s teen detectives. Iris and Alice are deeply flawed, deeply relatable and so easy for me to love. This mystery once again involves a rich, popular girl being attacked, but it smartly ties into a decades old mystery. My biggest complaint is I wish the quirky friend group had more page time. I love Spike, Neal and Zora a lot. Still, Neal really got to shine when he was around, and Spike had some very sweet moments. Plus, I did appreciate seeing the girls work through the trauma they faced in book one. These authors are really great at writing the messiness of teenage girlhood. Also, I will never complain about Alice showing up law enforcement over and over.

I am so in love with this series and The Night in Question was such a great follow up to The Agathas. A castle, an unsolved murder from the 1940s, and a current case all culminate in Alice and Iris coming together to do what they do best! I recommend this to any mystery lover, despite the YA rating.

I was so excited to return to Castle Cove! Alice and her crime solving posse, with newcomer Iris, are such a treat to read. Easy and quick and ever engaging, this sequel to "The Agathas" was just as entertaining to read. The tie-ins to Agatha Christie novels are so innovative and Kathleen and Liz are a powerhouse team. I loved it. 4/5 stars.

Thank you to the publisher for a Netgalley of this sequel.

I really enjoy this series. I like the characters. I think the cases are well thought out. This case is an extensive one going back into generations of chaos. Iris & Alice are still figuring out their friendship and their want to solve cases. We get more of a glimpse into Alice's family this book, which I liked as well.

My biggest qualm with this one was the length felt a bit much. It felt a bit draggy in the middle.

But I am hoping for a book 3!

I had such high hopes for this book because I loved "The Agathas" so much but I have to say, I was slightly disappointed. I felt that the book was too long and offered a lot of unimportant details that didn't really add to the story, but only made me more confused.

The feeling I had while reading this was very similar to what I felt while reading the final installment of 'A Good Girl's Guide to Murder' -- these teenagers have no business trying to be detectives and while I know this is a work of fiction, it just felt so unrealistic.

I think that it started off really strong but as the book went on and the story got a little weirder, a little less believable, and a little more twisted, I started to lose interest. I didn't really care about Mona Moody or the men in her life - it wasn't important to me; I didn't like how it all tied back to Rebecca Kennedy's attack - it felt like a stretch.

My thoughts can be summed up by saying this; "The Night in Question" felt like it jumped the shark way too early in the series. I loved The Agathas so much and I really wanted to love this as well. I do think if the authors write another installment, which the ending was set up perfectly for a third book, I will read it because I feel committed to these characters.

I have to say that the writing was really great; I just kind of wish the book went in a different direction. I do think that if you loved The Agathas and are curious about where Iris and Alice ended up you'll want to read this but just manage expectations

The Night In Question is the second book in a series which I did not realize until I started the book. I was able to easily read this without reading the first book. I am not the typical age group targeted by YA but I enjoy a good story. Loveable characters who use the methods of Hercules Poirot and Miss Marple to solve mysteries!

Very interesting read! The book pulled me in from the start and I wanted to see how it ended. Try it and see if this book is for you!

The Night in Question is the highly anticipated sequel of The Agathas that features Agatha Christie aficionado Alice Ogilvie and her unlikely partner in sleuthing Iris Adams. This time Alice and Iris have to try to figure out who assaulted one of their classmates during the Sadie Hawkins dance and what truly happened to famed film star Mona Moody in the 40’s when she accidentally fell off of the balcony at Levy Castle.

This was very fast-paced and read like a cozy mystery, although terrible/violent things did happen! I also liked that Glasgow and Lawson kept their teen detectives credible in what they could manage to find out and how. This sequel was jam-packed with mysteries and reveals and I loved how everything tied up at the end. I also liked that they didn’t necessarily get a happy ending, making this more realistic, but also kind of setting up for another book (I’d love a book three!).

The Levy Castle setting and old Hollywood link to it was part of the allure of this book, not to mention that I loved Alice and Iris’s friendship and how well they work together as wannabe Veronica Mars. But I also like how Glasgow and Lawson show how much trouble the two teens could actually get into if they actually try to help and how law enforcement barely acknowledges them whenever they actually crack a case.

This is a fun read and I recommend this if you’re a fan of teen detectives and cozy mysteries.

*Thank you so much to NetGalley and Delacorte Press for the digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

I really enjoyed the mystery in this novel and I loved the characters of Alice and Iris! They definitely made me want to keep reading. I hope there will be more books in this series!

I am an absolute SUCKER for a Young Adult Murder Mystery and The Night in Question did NOT disappoint!


Both The Agathas and The Night in Question are fun, clever, humorous, and not nearly as predictable as a lot of YAMM I've read, which I absolutely love. They keep you guessing and turning the pages as quickly as you can!

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House for this eArc of The Night in Question!

Absolutely spectacular. I know a murder mystery shouldn't be a comfort read, but this one is definitely that for me,

I love a good vintage mystery, especially when it is two cases in different timelines. This was a good continuation to the first book, and I loved how the story came together.

I loved everything about THE NIGHT IN QUESTION, the second book in The Agathas series. This is a YA amateur detective series that is all the things I love - a little Veronica Mars + Agatha Christie + Murder, She Wrote + Nancy Drew (the TV series, minus the supernatural) and I flew through it.

Just such great fun and would recommend to anyone and everyone who is a fan of YA mysteries. I’d put it in the same category as TRULY DEVIOUS, GOOD GIRL’S GUIDE & THE INHERITANCE GAME series & the CHARLOTTE HOLMES series.

This is the second in The Agathas series of books. Two teenagers inspired by Agatha Christie solving crimes in their upscale California town. I enjoyed this one and will look forward to the third installment. This is a cozy mystery with enough twists to keep you guessing until the end.

though i enjoyed the agathas when i read it last year, i wasn't blown away, so i went into this one with relatively low expectations. however, i really enjoyed this one, even more than the first! the dual timeline mysteries were so fun, and i was so easily swept up into the story. very excited for any future installments in the series.

I really loved these authors’ first book, “The Agathas.” This was a solid follow-up, but I didn’t love the historical mystery element of it and wished they focused on the modern story a bit more. There was humor alongside a good thrilling element, but I didn’t find this book quite as engrossing as its predecessor. I liked this novel, but I didn’t love it. 3 stars ⭐️. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the advanced copy for review.

I loved this book! I will definitely recommend it. Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
