Publisher's Summary

Eleven-year-old Tippy Chan lives in a small town in a quiet part of the world - where her uncle Pike escaped from the first chance he got as a teenager.

Now Pike is back with his new boyfriend, Devon, to look after Tippy while her mum's on a cruise. Tippy's in love with her uncle's old Nancy Drew books and is desperate to solve a real mystery.

When her teacher's body is found beside Riverstone's only traffic light, Tippy's moment has arrived. She and her minders form the Nancys, a secret amateur detective club - though their adventure quickly morphs into something more dangerous.

Regardless of their own safety, and despite the constant distraction of questionable fashion choices in the town that style forgot, the Nancys know only they can stop the killer from striking again.

unexpected

Not quite what I was expecting (ok, not at all) but I actually really liked it. There was a lot of innuendo and genital jokes, which is not my thing, but it was also a very sensitive look at grief and loss, and a solid mystery, too. Usually, amateur sleuth stories have me struggling to suspend my disbelief, but somehow, this one felt very believable. The girl sleuth was smart and observant, but not ridiculously so. And your heart really went out for her.
The villain was pretty obvious from the start, but the way they figure it out is so satisfying.
It was a good book. The ending was very realistic and both a little sad and hopeful.
I listened to this one, and the narrator's voice took a lot of getting used to
