Summary

 For young detective Aggie Morton and her friend Hector, Christmas becomes a lot more exciting when a dead body is found in this second book in the Aggie Morton, Mystery Queen series, inspired by the life of Agatha Christie as a child and her most popular creation, Hercule Poirot. For fans of Enola Holmes.

Aspiring writer Aggie Morton is looking forward to Christmas. Having just solved a murder and survived her own brush with death in her small town of Torquay on the coast of England, Aggie can't wait to spend the holidays with her sister Marjorie, the new Lady Greyson of Owl Park, an enormous manor house in the country; Grannie Jane and her fellow sleuth and partner in crime, Hector Perot. Owl Park holds many delights including Aggie's almost cousin Lucy, exciting and glamorous visitors from Ceylon and disguises aplenty in the form of a group of travelling actors, not to mention a secret passageway AND an enormous, cursed emerald. Not even glowering old Lady Greyson (the Senior) can interfere with Aggie's festive cheer. But when Aggie and her friends discover a body instead of presents on Christmas morning, things take a deadly serious turn. With the help of a certain nosy reporter, Aggie and Hector will once again have to put their deductive skills and imaginations to work to find the murderer on the loose.

Filled with mystery, adventure, unforgettable characters and several helpings of tea and Christmas pudding, Peril at Owl Park is the second book in a new series for middle-grade readers and Christie and Poirot fans everywhere.

PRAISE FOR Peril at Owl Park:

“Aggie’s wit, character and warmth are ever engaging as she matures, and Jocelyn maintains a pleasing pitch of humour, feeling, and historical realities throughout.” —Toronto Star

“Peril at Owl Park is just as engaging and appealing as The Body Under the Piano. Aggie has emerged from her shell while her interests in murder and her creative imagination continue unabated.” —Historical Novel Society

This is the 2nd book in the series and it did NOT disappoint! The narrator is probably one of the best I've ever listened to. Each character is unique and their personal stories are intriguing and feed into the mystery. The story was fun and I finished the book in just a few listening sessions as I kept listening to find out more about what would happen next. Cannot wait to read the next book in the series!

Great story, fantastic narration!
