Connie Is The Best
Once again it’s Connie and her friends solving the mystery before the police get the chance to do it themselves. I love this series very much. It’s one of my favorites. I am always looking forward to seeing them again soon. Wishing the new book was available right now. 😊😊😊

What you don't know can hurt you.
Connie once again finds herself in the middle of a murder case when a kayak heads for shore with a dead body in it. She is also nervous because she is about to meet Zach's Parents for the first time.
