mysterious fast-paced

4.0

Stevie Bell is asked to help solve a murder that occurred at a camp in the 1970's.  She brings Nate, Janelle and David with her to help.  The ending was a bit "Scooby Doo" - teenager solves the case, is allowed a big reveal, then Sheriff steps in to make the arrests.  Still, the mystery was good, how the story was told was good (went back and forth  from 70s to present day), and I enjoy Stevie and her friends.  Overall, a good read.

Well I thought

the ex-spy had something to do with it. But only as the weed supplier
