elm/ms E-BN Mystery/Detective
In this story five cousins try to help their Grandmother find the
deed to her house. It seems her husband had hid so no one could find it. It
seemed that Grandpa liked puzzles. So the cousins turned detective with some hilarious
results as they cooked their way through the clues that he left as clues. This is a delightful story of a family who
pulls together to solve problems that crop up.
The cousins (Sebastian, Genevieve,Claire, Olivia, and Alex) arrive for their summer stay with their Grandmother only to find her in a quandry. She can’t seem to remember where her husband put the deed to their property. If she can’t produce the deed the Tantalus Mining Company will get control of the land for an access road.
It seems that Grandpa loved puzzles. To help his wife to remember where the deed was secreted, he left a series of clues that he hid in such places as her cookbook. The cousins tried cooking their way through the recipes that had clues found on them hoping to get some insight.
Readers will love the various characters and the fast paced action and intrigue that commences as the troop of cousins investigate the threat of environmental destruction, the secret codes, and tempting recipes that are included for enjoyment. Family life-fiction Linda McNeil
