Emily | 5 comments I read this series at least eight years ago, if not more, but I have no recollection of the author, titles, or character names. Here's what I remember:
The covers were all really stark/graphic in style, usually black and one other prominent color (one was definitely black and bright blue).
The detectives were in high school, and I think they got started solving mysteries because a teacher asked for their help. As I said in the title, I think there were three kids, but it may have been four.
At least one of the kids was really into music and played an instrument, I think the saxophone. One of the mysteries dealt with a missing instrument or musician.
There are at least three books in this series.

That's about all I remember, but let me know if anyone needs more info and I'll see what I can come up with. Thanks!

Do you remember any other cases the kids solved?
Was there any fantasy or science fiction elements?
Any villains?

Emily | 5 comments It's not the IQ series, although you're right about the covers.

I can't remember any of their other cases, but there weren't any fantasy or science fiction elements. These books were strictly modern and pretty straightforward, if I'm remembering correctly.

Emily | 5 comments I just finished looking at those two lists, and the series isn't on either of them. :/

Emily, are you still looking for this series or did you find it?

Tab (tabbrown) | 5084 comments A stretch, but a couple to check:

Growler's Horn involves a stolen clarinet. It's part of a series.
The "Sizzle and Splat" series

What country were you in when you read the book? What language?

Emily | 5 comments I just saw the last response, and it's the series that Growler's Horn is in, the Misfits, Inc. series! Thank you, Tab!!!
