About the book

Synopsis:

James Patterson has just created the most spine-tingling, creepy-crawling, giggle-producing kid’s detective club ever.
That’s ever.

Living in the luxurious Arcanum building—with its interior balconies perfect for playing tag, an elevator like an iron birdcage, and quirky neighbors behind every apartment door—has always been fun and games for twelve-year-old Minerva Keen…until her neighbors start getting poisoned. Anyone could be next, and everyone is a suspect, including Minerva herself.

To clear her name and help the police crack the case, Minerva starts her own detective club. So what if it has only two other members, one being Minerva’s accident-prone daredevil brother and the other being the biggest and quietest kid in school, who happens to be afraid of his own shadow? Minerva knows that with her brainpower, the club’s sleuthing skills, and case files full of suspects, they can unmask the poisoner…hopefully before it’s too late.

This page-turning new mystery series is packed with thrills, chills, laughs, and unforgettable characters and will leave kids eager to join the best club around.

Review

In “Minerva Keen’s Detective Club” we follow Minerva who is starting her own detective club after some tragic events at her building. The detective club has to find out who is behind the poisoning before other people will die.

This is definitely a page-turner! I enjoyed every second of this, book, even though I’m definitely not the targeted audience. This book is definitely full of humor, twists, and turns and I found myself liking these amateur detectives quite quickly.

The writing style is fast-paced and, if you are a Patterson fan, you will love this collaboration with Keir Graff.

Overall, this was a quick and fun read and if you like middle-grade mystery thrillers, this is a must-read.
