For tween and teen readers, this engaging mystery along the same veins as Nancy Drew and with a slight dose of the Scooby animated mysteries, is a great read. The fourth book in The Dinswood Chronicles finds Emma and her friends away from Dinswood Academy. They have gone on a glamping trip over the summer, where they have learned about a haunted house, whose history is too intriguing not to investigate.

Little do they know what they have stumbled upon. And when they agree to help their new friend, Sandy, who has ties to the house, the danger kicks up a notch. As they learn more about Isaac Hampton and the residents who came after him, they stumble across a secret that could prove deadly for all of them. Older readers may also enjoy the romance that unfolds alongside the investigation. Though this is the fourth book in the series, it stands alone… even if you enjoy it so much you want to go back and read the earlier books.

Mystery, ghosts, and a hint of romance awaits you in The Hampton House Mystery.

This reads similarly to the original Nancy Drew books; it's not complicated but it does have mystery, suspense, and a bit of romance.

I would say the audience of this book is geared towards ages 10+ as it was simple and innocent. A quick but good read!

Thanks to the author, Ellen Alexander for allowing me to read this ARC in return for my voluntary review :)

I actually thought this was written by one of my favorite authors, and realized my mistake when I went to read it. However, while this is geared more towards teens, it was actually a very enjoyable for this adult.

A haunted house mystery is always going to draw me in, and that’s exactly what this one did. I enjoyed it so much in fact that I may read the previous books in the series and future entries as well. After all, there’s always a little bit of teenager left inside all of us.

Thanks for giving me this book to review. I loved the mystery of it and I couldn’t stop reading especially when she was like at a campsite and then her and her friends went to this mansion. One of the girls had a secret name that she changed because of something that happened to her in the house, and they wanted to find the mystery of you know what they were hiding that someone was watching them in the house it was just so creepy. I love the scary vibes of the book. I loved finding out the actual mystery of what they were hiding and who was watching them .

This was such a good and exciting quick read. Gives off scooby-doo vibes with the investigations into the Hampton House mystery by the main characters. If you are looking for a quick mystery read full of adventure give this book a read.

3.5 This was a fun YA mystery with a group of friends who go camping but end up investigating the mystery behind the house and the family who lived there. Fast read and entertaining.

Join Emma and the gang as they search for answers, racing against time itself. If you enjoy The Crime-Solving Cousins Mysteries, Nancy Drew, or The Goonies , then you’re sure to love (or the readers aged ten to fourteen in your life) the exciting action-adventure mystery series The Dinswood Chronicles by Ellen Alexander.

This was so cute and fun! A great cozy mystery for fans of Scooby-Doo.

I really enjoyed the premise of friendship and celebration with the elements of mystery. This was a quick and enjoyable read.

THE HAMPTON HOUSE MYSTERY is a YA cozy mystery in Ellen Alexander's THE DINSWOOD CHRONICLES Series, about 4 students at Dinswood Academy, tightly bonded friends, who solve mysterious events.
It's intriguing, heartfelt, with lots of Suspense and some gentle romance. Friendship is a very strong theme, as is compassion, chivalry, and supporting the "underdog" and those in need. There's also a significant emphasis on integrity and moral justice. All in all, this is a fairly fast and satisfying read.
