MK's Detective Club: The Double Trouble Puzzle

By: James Patterson, Keir Graff

Discover Nancy Drew for a new generation, packed with thrills, chills, and even laughs—from #1 bestselling mystery maven James Patterson.

Minerva Keen is the absolute best kid detective Chicago has ever seen, and she’s hungry for a new mystery to solve with her friends. But a know-it-all new girl, Zoe, tries to take control of MK’s detective club. Worse still, Ms. Claire Voyant, who has always had a soft spot for Minerva, takes Zoe's side. It’s clear to Minerva that someone…or something has taken over her favorite teacher.

Add in terrifying nightmares, the return of Minerva’s parents (who come home with more dangerous baggage than just their luggage), and some shocking developments—MK’s Detective Club just might have more mysteries than they can solve. With nowhere to turn, the club walks right into danger…and the stakes just might be deadly.

Critic reviews

Praise for MK's Detective Club: The Poison Puzzle
An Amazon Best Book of the Month

"Red herrings and gross-out humor abound in this approachable, Only Murders in the Building-esque whodunit…wonderfully quirky characters, slapstick buffoonery, and smart pacing propel this rambunctious detective story—and its charismatic narrator—into a dynamic mystery."—Publishers Weekly

"Patterson and Graff deliver a typically fast-paced, twisty caper made up of short chapters laced with frights, flights, misadventures, and, just for laffs, enough burping and farting to put a stockyard to shame.... A flying start for a smart sleuth who’s not averse to heading into harm’s way."—Kirkus Reviews

Great book, stressful narration

My 12 year old son and I really enjoyed this book, but I really struggled with the narrator. There was a lot of yelling and really dramatic voice changes that was just too much for me.

Too silly and too much yelling

Too silly and impossible. Way too much yelling and screaming for my ears. Maybe best for a child, not an adult.

Seven hours I’ll never get back, awful

The story of there was one at all was awful. The kids should be locked up in Juvi. Are we teaching kids to harass people and break the law and it is ok?
