Aggie Morton, Mystery Queen by Marthe Jocelyn


AGGIE MORTON, MYSTERY QUEEN: THE BODY UNDER THE PIANO
  by Marthe Jocelyn
Aggie is twelve and does not go to school – except dance class. In England in 1902 that was not so unusual. But meeting a boy – a foreign boy and making friends with him certainly was! Finding a dead body in her dance class room was also unusual. Joining with the foreign boy to solve a murder is VERY unusual.
This unusual story introduces Aggie (based on Agatha Christie) and Hector Perot is the boy (based on Hercule Perot). They band together to solve the mystery.
A delightful romp through English manners and murder for the middle school set.  Intended to be the first in a series, this is set to become an interesting and lengthy series.
4 of 5 stars
