Are you ready to open a cold case of a 1940s actress? Let’s investigate this book:
Second in Series - In this second book in The Agathas series, we follow Alice and Iris and their gang of crime solving friends
Formal Dance - they are attending a formal dance at an historic mansion
Girl Attacked - When Alice happens upon one of her classmates attacked while exploring some secret passageways in the mansion
Historical Connection - Can the Agathas solve the mystery? And how does it connect to the death of an actress many years in the past.
Having loved the first book in the series, and YA mysteries in general, I had to read this book. The most interesting thing about it for me was how things connected in general, the past and the present. Even after this book, which does reference the first one so you are going to want to start there, there are still a few cold cases this group is trying to solve so I'm figuring there will be another book in the series. It’s just a fun time and the twist is good, even if you kind of figure it out. Cuz I am astute like that.

Enjoyed this, not quite as much as the first one but still a lot of fun if you’re in the mood for something light hearted and don’t mind things getting a little silly. I think it’s the two main characters in this series that make it quite endearing as wouldn’t be my usual type of thing but anything Kathleen Glasgow writes seems to work for me.

There's honestly so much I could say about this book. Even though it took me what felt like years to get into, it was just me just not paying attention to it fully but boy once you got into it, it was hard to put down.
Since reading this book I've read a couple other books written by Kathleen Glasgow and Liz Lawson (sepratly) and found not only did I thoroughly enjoy them. I now look through book shops and can recognise their names and record them to others.

I enjoyed this second book just as much as the first. These are a great combination of Nancy Drew meets Veronica Mars meets Agatha Christie. They are fun to read, the mystery keeps you guessing all along and the story keeps moving. I'm hopeful for a book #3!
