Synopsis: The déjà vu is strong for 25-year-old former kid detective Charlotte Illes when she lands back in Frencham Middle School – this time as a substitute teacher with a sideline in sleuthing – in the second zany mystery based on the much-loved TikTok web series from @katiefliesaway. For fans of &“Poker Face,&” &“Knives Out,&” Elle Cosimano&’s Finlay Donovan Series, and anyone seeking to satisfy their Harriet the Spy, Encyclopedia Brown, or Nancy Drew nostalgia! Mention &“returning to the scene of a crime,&” and people don&’t usually picture a middle school. But that&’s where kid detective Lottie Illes enjoyed some of her greatest successes, solving mysteries and winning acclaim—before the world of adult responsibilities came crashing in . . . Twentysomething Charlotte is now back in the classroom, this time as a substitute teacher. However, as much as she&’s tried to escape the shadow of her younger self, others haven&’t forgotten about Lottie. In fact, a fellow teacher is hoping for help discovering the culprit behind anonymous threats being sent to her and her aunt, who&’s running for reelection to the Board of Education. At first, Charlotte assumes the messages are a harmless prank. But maybe it&’s a good thing she left a detective kit hidden in the band room storage closet all those years ago—just in case. Because the threats are escalating, and it&’s clear that untangling mysteries isn&’t child&’s play anymore . . .
