4.0

Enjoyable little mystery with a convincingly 13-yo protagonist possessing a precocious streak. Lots of hijinks, the broader family story is developed, Ingrid grows a little savvier as she stumbles through unravelling another mystery and it has a satisfying conclusion. I think the denouement could’ve been stretched out a litttllle longer. Felt rushed.
