Every chapter is a cliffhanger and I had to keep turning the page. This is a fun, exciting read " - Amazon Reviewer"This is a fantastic read for young adults, teens, or anyone who wants to look back to our teenage years looking for a good mystery to solve." - Amazon ReviewerA PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: If you're looking for a fun easy-to-read mystery thriller you've come to the right place. I designed these books for boys, teens, young adults, and sleuths of all ages. It's not easy finding good books for boys (or books for girls) - I know, because I'm constantly searching. It's especially hard finding books for boys who don't like to read. So I wrote my own. I hope you enjoy reading these stories as much as I enjoyed writing them.Book Two in this mystery and suspense series for young readers - "The Case of the Dead Man's Treasure" - is now available on Amazon. This second book explores the characters more in depth as they race to find a valuable treasure before a killer gets his hands on it. It continues the unique blend of mystery, suspense, and humor that these books contain.Book Three in this series The Case of the Christmas Counterfeiters is due in summer 20
