The teen-girl detectives from The Mystery of the Third Lucretia are back. This time, best friends Kari and Lucas are hot on the trail of a piano prodigy kidnapped during her Edinburgh Festival premiere. Too many details lead to some draggy patches, but the story's mix of friendship, adventure, and mystery will keep readers turning pages.
