A third mystery for thirteen-year-old Agatha Oddly – a bold, determined heroine, and the star of this stylish new detective series.
As the youngest and newest recruit to the gatekeeper’s guild, Agatha Oddlow know she’s got a lot to prove – not least because her mother was such an important member of the secret society.
So, when an assistant at the National Gallery goes missing, Agatha begins investigating. Soon she uncovers a plot bigger than she could ever have imagined. As Agatha delves deeper and deeper into the mystery, she’s not sure she’ll ever get to the bottom of it all…
The Silver Serpent by Lena Jones is Agatha’s last opportunity to use your little gray cells to help solve a case.
Will Agatha finally solve her mom’s case?
Agatha Oddlow
This time, Agatha finally gets her first case with the Gatekeeper’s Guild, and it may yield far more clues than what Agatha is hoping to find. Agatha is so happy to have her first real case with the organization that she starts on it immediately with her new partner. I have to say that Agatha may have a crush on her new partner, but it also seems like she does with Liam as well. Agatha has definitely grown up since her first case, and I do miss her detective agency at the school.
No matter if Agatha may or may not have a crush on her new guild partner, she still ends up solving the case, much to anyone’s dismay.
The Mystery
An assistant at the National Art Gallery goes missing, and the guild puts together two people who have far too many things in common. Well, except for maybe trying to solve the case correctly. Her partner seems like he wants to cut corners. Anyways, Agatha uncovers clues that solve many things for Agatha and effectively looks like ending the series.
I wasn’t expecting anything that went down, but I am happy that it concluded with a happy ending.
Five Stars
I am giving five stars to The Silver Serpent by Lena Jones and recommending it to all. Agatha Oddlow is an excellent series for any child itching to read a mystery that even a parent would love. Sure, Agatha skipping school isn’t a great role model, but her wanting to solve cases does. Ms. Jones does a great job of writing this series, and I’m hoping that this isn’t the last of Agatha Oddlow. Except if it is, then I’m glad she figured out the overarching mystery.
