The Agathas
by Liz Lawson, Kathleen Glasgow
I am going to write my review for both book one and book two, The Night In Question here. Book one was fantastic and I was quickly sucked in. Book two was just as good and I am hoping for a third book. The writing goes back and forth between two main characters Alice and Iris, two friends with a talent for solving mysteries. Both have their own issues but their friendship softens the edges of the difficulties they each deal with.
Book one introduces us to the two main characters and is the beginning of their friendship. Alice introduces Iris to her favorite author Agatha Christie and the two develop an unlikely alliance. When Iris gets sucked into the drama in Alice's life, it reminds her how nice it is to have friends and her solidary life becomes a little brighter.
Book two continues along the same line. With their success in solving a mystery, they once again have to help the bumbling local police so that another innocent person is not wrongfully charged. The writing moves at a fast pace, the characters are fun and the mysteries that delve into the past are interesting. I specifically liked the quotes from the movie star and from Agatha Christie books in book two.
Maybe with some encouragement YA readers may opt to challenge themselves and try an Agatha Christie novel?
