The second book of the series picks up right from the end of book one, so I guess these books would be best read in order (but that is the way I like to read a series anyway). Trixie and Honey are trying to find Jim (you'll have to read book one to find out who Honey and Jim are cause I don't want to add spoilers). While searching for Jim they manage to get themselves involved in two other mysteries. There might not be dead bodies but there are definitely adventures. Yes, as an adult I figured out where Jim was before the girls found him but that was okay, it was still a fun read.

I like the "old fashionedness" (that probably isn't a word but it describes what I wanted to say) of the books. They aren't so old that they would be historical novels (unless you are in your teens or twenties then maybe they would be considered historical lol) but they remind you that not that long ago there wasn't TV as we know it, no cell phones, etc. In this book one of the travel trailers in the story is equipped with a television and that is a big deal.

I'm looking forward to getting the next book, The Gatehouse Mystery and seeing what mischief the girls get into this time.
