I personally love detective stories, the ones cases have to be solved, so Sherlock Holmes is one of my favourites, always using that part of the brain that most of us usually don't.
Solving these riddles is fun, though this book is for a younger audience.

Another great story from the Sherlock Jones, Junior Detective Series, this one a kidnapping mystery. A well-written plot, fun characters, and a good mystery make up this book, and I highly recommend it to mystery lovers 10+.

Great mystery

I really enjoyed this book, and I thought its title was great as well. I liked how it brought the situation of money and being rich to a point. I liked how it went back to the Bible and showed that money isn’t everything we should want. But we should trust in the Lord and His provision to take care of us.

Penny learns that rich people have problems, can be good friends, can love and serve and witness for Jesus as she partners with Sherlock Jones to solve two mysteries, including the discovery of who kidnapped Lisa Diamond and where she could be found. Thanks, Reader!
