Verity Crisp's cousin has come to Peppercorn Valley. Her name is Ophelia Crisp, she is nearly ten and she has messy hair. She is also sullen, secretive and shrouded in mystery.
Before long Tan has reasons to suspect that Ophelia is a thief. But a Secret Spy should never jump to conclusions, so Tan sets out to build Ophelia's profile - and discover once and for all if she is a criminal.

Reviews

[Rebecca Fung · Rating 3 out of 5]

I had only read Jinxed before I jumped into this one. It's a lot of the same except the story seems a bit messier and less focused, however the "spy story" seems to be a bit more of a spy story and there is more of a mystery to solve. However again it seems to build up to something and the emotional stakes don't really amount to a great deal in the end.
