THE AGATHAS Paperback

"The Agathas" by Kathleen Glasgow and Liz Lawson is a gripping and witty young adult mystery that pays homage to the queen of crime, Agatha Christie. The story follows Alice Ogilvie, a former "it" girl in the elite town of Castle Cove, who becomes obsessed with Christie's novels after a mysterious disappearance of her own. When her ex-best friend, Brooke Donovan, vanishes and is presumed dead, and Alice's ex-boyfriend is the prime suspect, Alice teams up with her unlikely tutor, Iris Adams—a smart, cynical outsider with her own secrets—to solve the case. Channeling their inner amateur detectives, the two girls use Christie's principles of detection to uncover the town's hidden secrets and find the real killer, before it's too late.
