The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner's Dilemma by Trenton Lee Stewart

3.0

This book seemed to have lost some of the magic that had permeated every aspect of the first book, and a large bit of the second. The kids seemed almost too perfect, with Kate's super-speed and Constance's literal superpowers. It was still fun but it seemed more like an action book rather than a big puzzle, which is what I had thought made the first book so good. The real plot of the book didn't even really start until halfway through and there was a distinct lack of mysteries and clues for the society to solve. It was still fun and there were some sweet moments, but it overall felt lacking to me.
