The second children's murder mystery from the number-one-bestselling author of The Appeal, Janice Hallett, perfect for fans of Robin Stevens and Rhian Tracey.

Imagine an old museum with more secrets than anyone could ever guess. A school trip that ends in murder. A crime unsolved for decades... But who did it?

Now, Ava and Luke are on the case, following the clues left in a new box of murders. Using school workbooks, museum records, secret recordings, and letters the siblings start to unravel the mystery of a body in the basement. But can they discover what really happened... before the killer strikes again?

YOU know the facts. YOU have all the clues. Can YOU solve the mystery before they do?
