Why read it?
1 author picked Potkin and Stubbs as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book resonates for me because it successfully lands a very adult approach to detective work in the hands of a young female character.
Many of the tropes of Chandler and Hammett are employed, such as the seedy dive of an office, the spooky house, and others to build an atmosphere suitable for young readers, but that will also appeal to parents.
From Jon's list on middle grade detective fiction.
