When she comes across a book of puzzles in the hotel library, she makes it her mission to solve the problems within it so that she can figure out what exactly is going on in Winterhouse.

A fresh, heartwarming addition to the cozy mystery genre. The multiple POV format worked well for me; I was interested in the development of the investigation as well as the personal development of each character at an even pace. And when the truth was revealed, I truly didn’t expect it! Definitely a favorite of the year.

This is the perfect present for budding sleuths and mystery enthusiasts, young children who've never heard of this timeless classic and anyone who remembers the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books like they were some kind of weird fever dream. A bonus present for the resident Nosy Person in your life (I am one and I am not ashamed) that our bookstore sadly cannot provide: any of the Nancy Drew games from Her Interactive!! A few of my favorites are The Silent Spy, Labyrinth of Lies, and Warnings at Waverly Academy.
