1 post | 1 read

For fans of Gillian Flynn, Caroline Cooney, and R.L. Stine comes Murdered, My Sweet from four-time Edgar Allen Poe Young Adult Mystery Award winner Joan Lowery Nixon. Jenny Jakes and her mother, a famous mystery writer, travel to San Antonio to see their cousin, Arnold Harmony, who’s made his fortune in the chocolate business. Harmony, an eccentric millionaire, wants his will read publicly before he dies; since everyone wants a piece of the pie, this announcement causes quite a stir. When Harmony’s son is murdered just before the reading, Jenny’s mother decides to spring into action as a real-life detective. But Jenny’s mother doesn’t have a clue about solving a real crime, so it’s up to Jenny to use her wits, not only to save her mother’s reputation, but also to keep herself from being killed. “Lively characters...(and insightful) humor.” –Publishers Weekly “Another solid Nixon mystery without too much violence and lots of suspense.” –Booklist “Jenny’s covering for her mother is funny.” –Kirkus Reviews From the Paperback edition.

Murdered, My Sweet | Joan Lowery Nixon

Meh

so-so

āļø¸āļø¸
I LOVED Joan Lowery Nixon when I was a kid and I read a bunch of her books during my childhood, including this one. Reading it now, the nostalgia trip was kind of fun at times, but as for the actual story, this book is not one I found particularly enjoyable as an adult. The behavior of the adults in the book is totally absurd and requires way too much suspension of disbelief for me. Mystery loving kids would probably still enjoy it though ā¬‡ļø¸

shadowspeak17 as long as they don‘t mind that some things (technology) are very outdated.
