Think Nancy Drew with a penchant for London history and secret underground tunnels. Thirteen-year-old Agatha Oddlow is back for her second case, and while the title promises a murder at the British Museum, the story keeps all violence off-page and strictly sanitized for pre-teens.

It is a fast-paced, brain-teasing mystery that respects young readers by dropping actual clues instead of relying on cheap twists. If you are looking for a page-turner to pull an eight- to twelve-year-old away from screens, this series is a prime candidate.
