There is a mystery weekend, when sleuths can solve a murder mystery, scheduled and she is going to be part of it. She is going to find Mr. Pitts' body in the "haunted" room 1927, and someone that the sleuths can question to get clues.

If you read this book you will go wild! I did and i got scared too cause there was actually a real ghost in this book! So check it out and if you don't the book will haunt you. Just Kidding. But read it, it is the most exciting book you have ever read.

A Fast-Paced Adventure Mystery

This is one of my favorite mystery books. One of the things I like is that the writer gives information about each of the characters so that you can try to solve the mystery yourself. This book is about a teenage girl who works at a hotel where a murder takes place and she is trying to solve the murder.
