Murder at the Museum (Agatha Oddly) (Book 2)

I’ve been reading this series with my daughter and it’s so fun and very clean. Exciting and easy to read. We’ll definitely be ordering the third one after this one!

Murder at the Museum by Lena Jones sees Agatha dealing with going back to school while still waiting patiently for the trial to start to become a Guild member. Will Agatha stop anything sinister from happening? Agatha Oddlow Agatha Oddlow has loved her summer vacation and isn't thrilled about returning to school. The biggest reason is that Agatha has a mystery to solve, and she has to become the youngest Gatekeepers' Guild agent. Agatha loved the freedom that summer afforded her to investigate, and now she has to do it around school time. I love Agatha's tenacity to do whatever she wants without minding the consequences. Well, until she realizes that she may actually hurt someone that she loves by her gumption of getting involved in mysteries that she probably shouldn't be getting into yet. I can't wait to see what her next case brings Agatha. The Mystery The first mystery happened to be a murder at the British Museum. After finding her first mystery since she solved the red slime, Agatha has decided that she needs to investigate despite Liam not thinking it's a great idea. Honestly, it probably isn't, but "No Case Too Odd" for the Oddlow Detective Agency. Agatha realizes that something further must be happening than a simple murder when she discovers much more. I have to say that Agatha had me going with solving the case. Ms. Jones got me real good on the culprit, and here's to hoping Agatha brings back up with her in the future. Five Stars I am giving Murder at the Museum by Lena Jones five stars, and I recommend it. I love an excellent middle-grade mystery, and this one kept me guessing who could be that nefarious to plan this. Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of Murder at the Museum by Lena Jones. Until the next time, Karen the Baroness

I’m a big fan of this series. Agatha is exactly the kind of protagonist you want to cheer for. She’s inquisitive, daring and flawed. Her friends are equally as interesting and really add to the overall feel of the story. Murder at the Museum transports readers to the streets of — and tunnels beneath — London. It’s a delightful mystery that may be a little predictable for adults but is on par for intended readers. There’s one more book in the series, and I can’t wait to find out where author Lena Jones takes Agatha next. *Review based on advanced copy

My nine your old found this series enchanting. She typically veers toward graphic novels, but this book made her fall in love with chapter books.

I know I am not the age group intended for this book but I loved it anyway. And my preteen self would have loved it too. Agatha lives in London with her dad and solves crimes with the help of her two best friends and a secret society. She gets into some sticky situations. Thanks to her photographic memory and knack for solving ciphers she keeps London safer for everyone. Can't wait to read book #3.

I LOVE AGATHA! Wow, what an amazing character. She’s sarcastic, witty, sharp, unique, interesting, & makes for a very entertaining read lol. If you like books with secret Guilds, a few trials/puzzles/ciphers/coding, danger, mystery, & a MC who takes risks..is smart, brave, charming, & basically a super sleuth..these books are for you! Also, just amazingly written characters in general-both the good & evil characters are so well done. I still love her pa, & her best friend Liam & their dynamic. Then a new friend is added to their team, & I love the whole story of how it came to be. Now the THREE of them make a great team, & the dynamics are even better, if possible. We learn even more little tidbits about the secondary mystery I mentioned before with Agatha’s mom, & the main mystery was just as great as the last books as well. You fall fast for Agatha, & you root for her the whole way, & you feel like she’s one of your own friends, & you are right there with her steeped in mystery & danger. SO GOOD! The chapters are longer, but I honestly barely noticed because they are such fast-paced, high stakes, suspenseful, incredible reads. HIGHLY recommend. Another beautiful cover by Alba Filella too.💜

This book was really good. It was very exciting and was a page turner. Agatha was a great and relatable character. Overall this book was quite good

Gift for a nine year old, who loves this book.

This book is good for all ages. Amazing story! I could read it seversl times. I think Agatha was really clever in this book.

Best book I hve ever red one of a kind it's mysterious I can never stop reading it's series I am very happy

So just to be clear, I loved this book and it’s probably one of my favourite books I have ever read, and believe me, I have read a lot of books. There is just this little thing witch annoys me quite a lot. It’s the cover. The book content is not at all for little children, but the bookcover just gives exactly the opposite of this message. In fact, my dad had to nearly force me to read the first book, because I am only interested in murder and crime books, and with this cover, I thought the book was for seven year olds. I actually considerd giving it to my little sister before I started reading it. But, of course the most important thing about a book is not it’s cover but the content and I really really really loved the content. Have fun reading this book! :-) By the way I am 11 years old, though I do have a quite abnormal taste for dark books (but also slightly funny ones) and this book contains exactly that, so as I said have fun reading it!!

I got this set to give to my daughter for her 11th birthday. I haven’t given them yet but they look like a lovely set of books. I know she’s going to love them
