A review by duchessofreadin
The Mystery at Dunvegan Castle by T.L. Huchu
3.0
Dive into a new magical adventure - you might even survive!
Ropa and her friends are going to have to solve a new case, after a librarian is murdered (seriously, who kills a librarian??? They are awesome!), and they are in search of a specific scroll. There are dangers along the way, not only the very powerful people that are now angry they are forced to remain during a murder investigation.
Danger lurks in dark places...
I am going to admit that I am very torn on this book. While there are some very compelling scenes throughout the book, there are also some places where it simply just falls flat. The young lady, Ropa, just got on my nerves throughout most of the book - as her attitude (okay, I get it, teenagers - but not all teens are typical teens (and yes, I have two)) just set me on edge. The slang throughout and the forced accent often of the narrator were also not fantastic - but still - there were some redeeming qualities within the book.
No one is going to read the same book the same way, so if you choose to read it, I hope you enjoy it more than I did!
