Myrtle is on the case in another great mystery! Myrtle is traveling with her Aunt Helena rather reluctantly and it is really no surprise that things don’t go as planned. First, there is a jewel theft which is followed up by a murder. Myrtle is determined to get to the bottom of things in this surprisingly complex mystery. Myrtle and her governess, Miss Judson, definitely have their work cut out for them in this installment.

Myrtle is a fantastic character and I love the fact that the adults in her life are supportive and encouraging. Her Aunt Helena does have some pretty strong opinions about how a young lady should behave but it is evident just how much she really cares for Myrtle. This 12-year-old’s investigative skills are top notch and I am pretty sure that this crime would not have been solved if it were up to the adults in positions of power.

I listened to the audiobook and thought that the narrator did a fabulous job with the series. Bethan Rose Young does a wonderful job of bringing Myrtle and the rest of the cast to life. I am certain that her narration only added to my enjoyment of this story. I do recommend this delightful series to both middle-grade readers and adults. I cannot wait to read the next book!

I received a review copy of this book from Algonquin Young Readers. ( )

Precocious 12-year-old, "Young Lady of Quality" Helena Myrtle Hardcastle has a unique obsession with all things murder. Her aunt and governess take her to the sea side to get away from her last encounter with such unpleasantness, but before they even get off the train, more mystery and mayhem ensues. This time an expensive tiara has gone missing and the insurance investigator who was hired to watch it turns up murdered.

This 2nd book in the series has more of Myrtle's hilarious observations and unique characters. This is a great middle-great mystery series, and I don't mind saying that I look forward to checking out the next one (though I'm way older than middle-grade age!). ( )
