- Synopsis
- Be one of the first to read this sneak preview sample edition!&“An immensely fun, voice-y read with a twisty mystery.&” —Mia P. Manansala, author of the Agatha, Anthony, and Macavity Award-winning Arsenic and AdoboFor anyone seeking to satisfy their Harriet the Spy, Encyclopedia Brown, or Nancy Drew nostalgia, this charming, entertaining debut based on the popular @katiefliesaway TikTok series stars a twentysomething former kid detective who&’s coaxed out of retirement for one last case.The downside of being a famous child detective is that sooner or later, you have to grow up . . . As a kid, Charlotte Illes&’ uncanny sleuthing abilities made her a minor celebrity. But in high school, she hung up her detective&’s hat and stashed away the signature blue landline in her &“office&”—aka garage—convinced that finding her adult purpose would be as easy as tracking down missing pudding cups or locating stolen diamonds. Now twenty-five, Charlotte has a nagging fear that she hit her peak in middle school. She&’s living with her mom, scrolling through job listings, and her love life consists mostly of first dates. When it comes to knowing what to do next, Charlotte hasn&’t got a clue. And then, her old blue phone rings . . . Reluctantly, Charlotte is pulled back into the mystery-solving world she knew—just one more time. But that world is a whole lot more complicated for an adult. As a kid, she was able to crack the case and still get her homework done on time. Now she&’s dealing with dead bodies, missing persons, and villains who actually see her as a viable threat. And the detective skills she was once so eager to never use again are the only things that can stop a killer ready to make sure her next retirement is permanent . . . &“Kept me guessing and left me with a warm and happy glow.&” —Mary Robinette Kowal, author of the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Award-winning The Calculating Stars
