An exciting and funny new murder mystery from author Niyla Farook, author of Indie Book Award-shortlisted MURDER FOR TWO.

After solving the murder of Mrs Kostas the previous summer, twins Ani and Riri have moved past tolerating each other to a budding friendship. But with Riri and their mum living in LA and Ani and their dad living in Yorkshire, it''s hard to stay close. Especially since Ani seems to have gone off sleuthing all together . . .

When they all meet in LA for an exclusive trip to Deadwood Manor theme park, tensions start to rise. Why has Riri''s best friend Adora, their older sister and her boyfriend come along when it''s a family trip? What has caused Ani to stop sleuthing? Who is Riri always on the phone to?

Then their personal tour guide in the Deadwood Manor park is murdered and it''s clear that the time for games is over. There''s only one question that matters: whodunnit?

A brilliant introduction to murder mysteries for Middle Grade readers - perfect for fans of HIGH RISE MYSTERY!

There are so many twists and turns in the story that like the twins, readers have to keep their wits about them all the time until the murderer finally is unmasked. With humour, great characters and surprises aplenty, this is terrific sequel to Murder For Two.
