Virginia Tillis can solve any murder-mystery. But the murders have always been fictional until now …

Virginia spends her summers roleplaying murder mysteries with her grandmother and the other theatrical residents of Castle Claude. But this year, everything has changed. Claude, the building owner, has died, and everyone from estranged relatives to sleazy property developers is deadset on getting the most from his will.

To save the community they have always loved, Virginia will have to team up with Felix, the frustrating – or is that frustratingly handsome? – grandson of another resident. Armed only with witty banter, a knack for problem-solving, and a determination to win at all costs, can Virginia and Felix crack Castle Claude’s most complex mystery yet?

A cosy and romantic YA murder-mystery about family, community and finding the Watson to your Holmes.
