Review quote:
Budding sleuths will adore Niyla Farook''s fresh, funny middle-grade murder mystery of warring twins Ani and Riri investigating the death of a local café owner. Ani is already a super sleuth, Riri not so much, but the girls put differences aside and learn each other''s strengths when their father becomes a suspect. Farook skilfully weaves the mystery into a narrative of family estrangement and reunion, leading to a heartwarming conclusion.
